Alex Gordon went from a bust to busting the bank.

Gordon, who had a breakout 2011 season after a mediocre first four years in the majors, agreed to a $37.5 million, four-year deal that includes a player option for 2016 to remain with the Kansas City Royals.

The team had been working on a long-term deal with Gordon for several months. It was finally announced Friday, one week before the start of the regular season.

Gordon will make $6 million this season, $9 million next season, $10 million in 2014 and $12.5 million in 2015. The player option is also for $12.5 million.

Mahinmi said he thought it was a bad call

"I'm in disbelief that there was a foul called on Mahinmi," Carlisle said. "I just watched the play five times and it was a block. "And that's an enormous play. I'm at a loss."
Mahinmi said he thought it was a bad call.
"I didn't think I fouled him," Mahinmi said. "I think I went straight up. I think I got a good swipe at the ball, and no contact on the body."
After the two free throws by Ibaka, the Mavs were called for a 24-second shot clock violation when Jason Terry's shot under duress missed the rim. Kevin Durant (22 points, seven turnovers) then made one of two freehttp://puma-series-shoes.com/showproducts.asp?id=307 throws to put the Thunder up 93-91 with 13.9 seconds remaining.
