With the team expected to land one of the best players in what

OTTAWA - The Ottawa Redblacks finally have a blowout to call their own.Playing just his second game with the Redblacks, Jonathan Williams scored two touchdowns and had over 220 total yards as the Redblacks trounced the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 42-20 Friday night.The win was the first for the Redblacks (2-11) since July 18 and it halted a nine-game losing streak.The Blue Bombers (6-8) have now lost five straight and seven of their past eight after starting the season at 5-1.The 42 points scored is the biggest offensive output this season by the Redblacks as they compiled over 500 yards of total offence.Williams picked up 180 of those yards along the ground and another 49 in receptions.We got that win and it’s definitely a good feeling, said Williams. I definitely got in the zone a little bit more and I was more comfortable. Last week I got my feet wet and this week I was more adjusted to the offence and clued in to what we had to get done,.Ottawas Henry Burris threw for 284 yards, completing 24 of 31 passes.It was good to see us respond and make the plays accordingly when they needed to be made, Burris said.We’re becoming a better offence each week and we’ve been able to move the ball, but it was good to see us do it consistently and put points on the board and put the ball in the end zone. The O-line did a great job against a defensive front seven and giving Jonathan a lot of holes to work with.A 32-yard field goal from Brett Maher accounted for the only scoring in the final quarter for the Redblacks as they produced 39 points through the first three quarters.On the other side of the ball, Winnipegs Drew Willy had a night he would rather forget with only 191 yards on 18 completions with two interceptions.I didnt execute at a high enough level. I’ll have to look at the film but obviously it wasn’t good enough, said Willy, who was sacked six times.This was by far the most frustrating (loss) I’ve had this year for sure. ... I’m sure there were plays to be made out there, we just need to do a better job as a unit and come together. We have to get better this week and do everything we can to get ready for Edmonton.The Redblacks only had two complete possessions in the third quarter but they used them effectively — scoring 11 points to take a 39-20 heading into the fourth quarter.Their first drive of the quarter ended with a 25-yard field goal from Maher and their second was a two-yard touchdown run from Williams.They added a single on the ensuing kickoff.In between, the Blue Bombers added three points of their own on a drive that started on their own 35 ended with a Lirim Hajrullahu 22-yard field goal.The Ottawa defence kept the Blue Bombers to under 300 yards of offence, and defensive lineman Justin Capicciotti had a lot to do with that compiling two sacks and three tackles.Our defence was just putting a whole game together and our DBs were covering everybody out there, getting interceptions, and it made it easy on our D-line, Capicciotti said.Points wise the Redblacks started and ended the first half in the end zone, but got there in completely different fashions.A one-yard sneak by Burris got the Redblacks a major with just three seconds remaining in the half while a 37-yard interception return for a touchdown by Travis Brown on just the second play from scrimmage in the first quarter gave the Redblacks an early 7-0 lead after the conversion.In between was pretty much new terrain for the Redblacks and their fans as the 28 first-half points was nearly half of their 59 total points the team had scored in its first six home games combined.After Willy had his second pass of the game returned for a touchdown, the Blue Bombers responded with 10 straight points to take the lead after the opening quarter 10-7.As excited as the sellout crowd was with Ottawas early success, they became equally deflated when Winnipeg free safety Maurice Leggett returned a missed 51-yard field goal attempt 114 yards for a touchdown just shy of six minutes into the game.It was designed and there was a lot of confusion on our side but I was just thinking score, Leggett said.That’s the longest I had, by default with the size of the field (110 yards compared to 100 yards in the U.S.), but I’ve been doing that my whole career, my whole life and I was just trying to do the best thing possible to help my team.Then, following a Burris interception, Willy drove the field with the series ending on a nine-yard field goal by Hajrullahu.The Redblacks regained the lead on a 53-yard TD run by Williams in the second quarter.On the ensuing series the Blue Bombers needed just four plays take the lead again as they covered 43 yards, including a Robert Marve one-yard TD run at 13:17.The rest of the half belonged to the Redblacks as they scored 14 points in the final 1:43.After Burris was hurt after a late hit from Winnipeg back Ejiro Kuale, Danny OBrien took over at quarterback. Williams put together runs of five and 26 yards before OBrien found Khalil Paden a five-yard touchdown pass.The Bombers failed to convert on third down on their next possession leading to the Burris score at the end of the half.

The Nets captured the first game of the series 94-87 on Saturday. The action can be seen live on TSN, TSN GO and TSN Radio 1050 Toronto NOW. Deron Williams and Joe Johnson both scored a game-high 24 points and Kevin Garnett grabbed eight boards for the Nets, as the visitors claimed the opening game of the best-of-seven series. Kyle Lowry led the way for the home team, as he poured in 22 points in a team high 44 minutes and Jonas Valanciunas delivered a 17 point, 18 rebound performance in his playoff debut in the losing cause. Raptors All-Star DeMar DeRozan struggled in his first playoff game, scoring 14 points off 3-for-13 shooting from the floor, including an 0-4 from behind the three point line. "I think with as much energy was going on, it felt like things were going faster than they were," said DeRozan, "I dont need a whole other playoff round to get ready for it. I watched a lot of film. I understand. Im definitely not going to make the same mistakes twice. Its adjustments." Raptors head coach Dwane Casey knows his team needs come out on top of their second home game before the series shifts to Brooklyn. "Its important we win," said Casey. "Going down 0-2 is very difficult to come out of. Must win? I dont think that means were done (if we lose). We want to win but we still have games to be played. IIt would make it very difficult.dddddddddddd I wouldnt say its dire. Its tough, but its not over with if (we lose).” As for the mental state of his squad, Casey believes with the first game out of the way his team will be more composed and ready to rise to the level of their competition. "Were disappointed but were anxious to get a second chance at it," said Casey. "I think the second time around well get the first game jitters away, out of us. We know were fighting a veteran, crusty team thats been there before. We worked on some things, made some adjustments in certain situations that we know we can do better." Greivis Vasquez, who scored 18 points and added 8 assists for the Raptors in Game 1, does not believe the importance of the game will get to him or his teammates. "We dont feel pressure, man, at all," said Vasquez. "We feel like the first game, we were anxious. I havent been in the playoffs in two years. A couple of guys have been in the playoffs, too, but havent been out there in a couple years." Nets forward Paul Pierce, who had a 15 point performance in Game 1, said following the game that he thrives in tough moments on the road. "I really feed off the emotions of the crowd, especially on the road,” said Pierce. “I think its more gratifying than winning at home, I love those moments." Only 16 of 255 teams in NBA history have ever comeback from an 0-2 deficit to capture a seven-game series. With files from TSN Raptors reporter Josh Lewenberg ' ' '
