PORTLAND, Ore. -- Portland reserve point guard Mo Williams is unlikely to play in Game 3 against San Antonio on Saturday night because of a groin injury. Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts told reporters Friday he doesnt anticipate Williams will play. Earl Watson and Will Barton will come off the bench in his place. Williams, who provided a spark for the Blazers all season in backing up starting point guard Damian Lillard, played only 9 minutes in Portlands 114-97 loss in San Antonio on Thursday night. He is averaging 7.4 points and 23.4 minutes in the post-season.

KITCHENER, Ont. -- Kelly Scott became the first curler to advance to the Page playoffs of the 2013 Capital One Road to the Roar Olympic pre-trial tournament with an 8-5 win over Renee Sonnenberg in the womens A-event final on Thursday. Scott and her teammates moved one step closer to locking down one of the final four spots at next months Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings Olympic trials, where eight mens and eight womens teams will be vying for the chance to represent Canada at the 2014 Sochi Games. The Kelowna, B.C., skip broke a close game open in the seventh end. Sonnenberg, from Grande Praire, Alta., had a chance for a double takeout with two Scott stones in the rings, but her rock barely ticked shot stone and sailed through the house, leaving Scott with a steal of two and a 6-3 lead. Scott used the hitting power of teammates Sasha Carter and Jeanna Schraeder to keep the house clean from then on, blanking the ninth and hitting out the 10th for the win. "Any time you can steal late in the game, especially a deuce, that does definitely give you an edge, and advantage," said Scott. "It was not an easy sheet to play finesse shots on, so we definitely got the easier shot selection after we jumped ahead three points. But they did a good job of hanging in there and making us execute those peels or they could have been right back in it." "Goal number one was to get through to that qualifying round," added Scott about clinching a playoff spot. "You want to be in that A versus B gamee, but that sometimes doesnt pan out.dddddddddddd. We couldnt have scripted a better start to this whole event for ourselves." Scott will face either Sonnenberg again or Cathy Auld of Mississauga, Ont., in the Page playoff. Sonnenberg recovered with a 7-6 win over Tracy Horgan in the evening draw. Shell next face Auld, who edged Val Sweeting 7-6. Elsewhere, both 2010 silver-medallist Calgarys Cheryl Bernard and Edmontons Laura Crocker both staved off elimination with crucial C-Event victories. Bernard got off to a fast start with three in the second end and a deuce in the fourth en route to an 11-5 triumph over Winnipegs Barb Spencer. Crocker, meanwhile, stole five in the seventh end to beat Krista McCarville 10-3. On the mens side, John Morriss rink from Kelowna and Vernon, B.C., earned a spot in the Page playoff with an 8-3 win over Brad Gushue of St. Johns, N.L., in the A-event final. It was battle of skips who have claimed the last two Olympic gold medals. Gushue won in 2006 at Turin, Italy, throwing last rocks for a team skipped by Russ Howard, while Morris won in 2010 at Vancouver throwing third rocks for Kevin Martin. Morris will play the B-event winner Saturday, with the winner advancing directly to the Roar of the Rings. The loser of that game will play the winner of a contest between the two C-Event winners on Sunday for the other Trials berth. Gushue will be back on the ice Friday against reigning Brier champion Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., in a B-event semifinal. ' ' '
