Aston Villa boss Remi Garde praised his sides attitude despite seeing them slip to a 2-0 defeat against Tottenham. Harry Kane scored twice, either side of half-time, to earn Mauricio Pochettinos side all three points and leave Villa bottom of the table, nine points from safety.However, while Garde was frustrated by certain aspects of the performance, he refused to criticise their spirit and desire. I think defensively we didnt play well enough not to concede goals because we know in our current situation that conceding goals makes us very fragile, he told Sky Sports.But then, even though we were 2-0 down we had the spirit to fight and create opportunities and we missed a little bit of luck, probably because that is the way the season of Aston Villa is going.The former Lyon manager was disappointed with the manner in which his team conceded the first goal though as they were caught out by a quick free-kick before letting in a second just after the break.It is the worst time to concede a goal [just after half-time] but I was very upset with the first one because we lost concentration, added Garde. Tottenham secured a 2-0 win despite Villas best efforts All the opportunities that Tottenham had in this game we gave them. They are a good they side and they dont need silly fouls like we [gave them].Tottenham is a very good side that are playing for the title, they are far better than us but in this 90 minutes I think we have shown we still have the desire and the right attitude.In football sometimes you play against teams that are better than you and I think it was the case today.

NHL Jerseys Sale .Y. -- Syracuses streak lives on -- barely.OAKLAND, Calif. - The sellout crowd chanted Klay Thompsons name. Both benches stood, equally stunned at what was taking place. Thompsons teammates continued to get him the ball — and he just kept shooting.They just kept wanting to see the show, Thompson said. Thats what they kept telling me.Thompson set a league record for the most points in a quarter Friday night, a thrilling 37-point third period that powered the Golden State Warriors to a 126-101 victory over the Sacramento Kings.I was one of the luckiest NBA players ever to play with Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, David Robinson and some of the greatest players ever, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. As many spectacular things as Michael did, which he did nightly, I never saw him do that.Thompson finished with a career-high 52 points, pleasing 19,596 fans at rowdy Oracle Arena with a performance that will long be remembered in the basketball-loving Bay Area. The All-Star hopeful made all 13 shots, including a league-record nine from 3-point range in a quarter, and hit both of his free throws during a 12-minute span of pure basketball bliss.It was kind of a blur. I wish I could go back and enjoy it some more, but moments like that go by really fast, Thompson said.His streaky shooting stroke helped the Warriors (35-6) erase a sloppy showing in the middle of the game for its franchise-best 18th consecutive home victory. Golden State became the 10th team to win at least 35 games halfway through a season.Thompson surpassed the 33-point mark set by George Gervin in 1978 and matched by Carmelo Anthony in 2008 for the most points in a quarter. Michael Redd and Joe Johnson shared the previous mark for most 3s in a quarter with eight.Thompson, who signed a four-year, near-maximum contract extension worth about $70 million this summer, couldnt remember ever dominating a game like that.Maybe elementary school, he joked.A day after backcourt teammate Stephen Curry received the most All-Star votes in the NBA and Kerr learned he would lead the Western Conference in the leagues showcase game, Thompson let the world know he expects to be right next to them at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 15.Thompson stunned Sacramento — and just about everyone in the building — with a performance unlike any other in league lore. He hit one I-cant-believe-he-just-made-that basket after another — including a 28-footer — and added an alley-oop from Curry on the fastbreak just for good measure.Thompson said two other shots left him just as baffled: an off-balance one in the corner, and another off a curl that got a shooters bounce. He even made one from about 10 feet beyond the 3-point line after a play that didnt count.At that point, Warriors assistant Jarron Collins turned to Kerr and quipped, We have to get more balance.ddddddddddddhompson seemed to love every minute of it, flapping his hands to the crowd while running down court. During one timeout, he sat on the bench with his hands over his head, staring at the scoreboard in disbelief.It was reminiscent of Michael (Jordan), because it was sort of otherworldly, Kerr said.Thompson scored 19 consecutive points during one scintillating stretch, which ended with him zipping a left-handed pass to Draymond Green for a layup.You dont get that hot in (NBA) 2K, Green said, referring to the popular video game.Thompson finally a missed a shot — from 21 feet — at the start of the fourth quarter, only in the game because Kerr said players pleaded with him not to take him out. Thompson left to a standing ovation with 9:28 remaining.You always dream about it, being a big-time scorer and a big-time player. Its crazy its reality, said Thompson, who finished 16 of 25 from the floor, 11 of 15 from long range and 9 of 10 on free throws.Thompsons touch made sure the Warriors equaled the franchises highest win total before the All-Star game. The defending champion 1975-76 Warriors went 35-13 before the break and finished with a team-best record of 59-23.DeMarcus Cousins had 28 points and 11 rebounds in Sacramentos sixth straight loss, though he wasnt that frustrated after this one. How could he be?I mean, the ball was barely touching his fingertips and he was releasing it. Its pretty hard to stop something like that, Cousins said.Rudy Gay was ejected in the second quarter, leaving the Kings (16-27) short-handed.Golden State started with a flurry from long range, going on a 22-2 run in the first six minutes to build an 18-point lead. Kerr dug deep into his bench early, and with second-unit anchor Andre Iguodala getting the night off to rest, the Warriors had little punch off the bench.Sacramento sliced the deficit to just three early in the second quarter, trailed only 56-51 at the half and briefly took the lead in the third quarter until Thompson took over.TIP-INSKings: Fell to 5-14 since Michael Malone was fired as coach. ...
