MADRID, Spain -- Youssef El-Arabi scored both goals as Granada beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 on Monday for its first home win of the season in the Spanish league. . Athletic was unlucky not to be awarded a penalty in the 16th minute when Aritz Aduriz fell inside the penalty area after tangling with Jeison Murillo. Athletic midfielder Ander Herrera was penalized when he brought down Yacine Brahimi with a dangerous high kick inside the area and El-Arabi converted in the 53rd. "We cant look for excuses," Herrera said. "If we want to be a team that is up there, we have to become a winning team." Granada went close to scoring again on the hour from a counterattack but Diego Buonanottes shot was headed clear. El-Arabi headed in powerfully from the resulting corner in the 61st to increase the margin. "This is for the fans," Buonanotte said. "We hadnt been able to score at home and now we have by making a huge physical effort." El-Arabi missed completing a hat-trick in the 67th when Athletic goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz deflected his shot. Barcelona leads the standings on 21 points after seven rounds, marginally ahead of Atletico Madrid on goal differential. Real Madrid is on third place on 16 points.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Trail Blazers have alternated wins and losses for the past 10 games, which is not exactly getting them to the playoffs. "We gotta figure it out," guard Raymond Felton said about the teams seesaw stretch. "We gotta figure out how to go on a roll for like five games." But time is running out for Portland, which rallied with a 17-3 run after falling behind in the fourth quarter to beat the New Jersey Nets 101-88 on Wednesday night. LaMarcus Aldridge had 24 points and nine rebounds for the Blazers, who led by as many as 16 points in the third quarter before a late surge put New Jersey in front in the fourth. Nicolas Batum added 20 points and 10 rebounds. Batum said the Blazers are still working for the playoffs, even though they were 3 1/2 games back of eighth-place Denver in the Western Conference with just 11 games left. "Thats the goal for us," Batum said. "Its why we play the game." Portlands turnaround came when Kris Humphries was called for goaltending on J.J. Hickson, making it 86-85 for the Blazers with 5:16 left. Batum added a 3-pointer to extend it and New Jersey never recovered. The Blazers (26-29) have gone 6-6 over the past 12 games under interim coach Kaleb Canales, who took over when Nate McMillan was fired at the trade deadline. Portland hasnt won back-to-back games since January. Humphries had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Nets (19-37), who were coming off a 91-87 loss to the Lakers the night before. Nets guard Deron Williams was a late scratch because of the stomach flu, disappointing Blazers fans who are hoping the team will target him this summer in free agency. Williams is leading the Nets with 21.6 points per game. Gerald Wallace was traded to the Nets from the Blazers at the deadline, the same day the Blazers fired McMillan. Wallace was greeted by cheers from the fans at the Rose Garden during pre-game introductions. "It felt good. I didnt want to hear any boos, so I was glad for the cheers," he said. But after averaging 20.3 points and nine rebounds over his pastt three games, Wallace had eight points and nine rebounds against his former team.

"They came out like a team desperate to make the playoffs, and they put us on our heels," Johnson said. "But then, because this team is not a bunch of quitters, they fought some more and we get the game back and were battling. Then we just kind of ran out of gas." The Blazers saw the return of Jamal Crawford, who missed Portlands 102-97 loss to Utah on Monday with right knee tendinitis. Portland jumped to a 21-13 lead early, but the Nets rallied to go ahead 23-21 on two consecutive 3-pointers from DeShawn Stevenson. The Blazers pulled back in front 41-32 on Aldridges layup and free throw late in the second quarter, but a late run by the Nets narrowed it to 46-44 at the half. Aldridge went on a tear to start the second half, giving the Blazers a 64-48 lead on a fast-break dunk and a tip-in. Luke Babbitt closed the third quarter with a 3-pointer to make it 76-64. The Nets chipped away at Portlands lead and Anthony Morrows jumper with 8:32 left tied the game at 80-all before Gerald Greens running layup gave New Jersey the lead. The Nets clung to the lead until Humphries goaltending call and Portland took off. "Defence was huge in those five minutes," Batum said of the final run. "Control the rebounds, give them one shot every time, no second shot, no second-chance points. And dont let them score in the paint. So we controlled the pain. On offence, the last five minutes we just made good decisions." Morrow and Green each finished with 20 points for the Nets. Notes: The Nets have dropped three straight to Portland. ...
