ANAHEIM, Calif. - Things werent looking too promising for the Anaheim Ducks until a couple of their defenceman came through with the tying and winning goals.Cam Fowler scored at 2:42 of overtime after Francois Beauchemin provided the equalizer in the third period with his first goal of the season, and the NHL-leading Ducks rallied for a 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night.The core group here has wanted to win ever since I got here, and they never give up, coach Bruce Boudreau said. Thats one of the reasons why weve had so many come-from-behind wins the last couple of years. These guys believe that they can win, and thats half the battle.Frederik Andersen faced only 14 shots altogether — the fewest by the Canucks this season — in the opener of an eight-game homestand. Corey Perry missed his 15th straight game because of a sprained knee.Ryan Getzlaf, who assisted on both Anaheim goals, got the puck to Devante Smith-Pelly at the edge of the crease and Ryan Miller made the save as the puck deflected off the blade of his stick. But Fowler was right there to bury the rebound for his third career overtime goal.It was kind of a weird play, Fowler said. It was stuck in someones feet and I gave it a good whack. By the time I stood up, I saw people celebrating.The two-time defending Pacific Division champions are 8-0-1 in their last nine games against Vancouver. The Canucks, who were tied with the Ducks atop the Western Conference standings four weeks ago at 35 points each, are now 11 points behind them.We got a big point. We didnt deserve it, but well take it, Vancouvers Henrik Sedin said.Boudreau singled out Andrew Coglianos line with right wing Jacob Silfverberg and Nate Thompson for praise after they held the Canucks top line of Henrik Sedin, twin brother Daniel and Radim Vrbata to just one shot on net between them.We dont usually assign checking lines to teams, at least in the first half of the season, Boudreau said. But tonight we moved Nate with Silf and Cogs and put them against the Sedin line, and I thought they did a great job.Yannick Weber scored early in the second period for Vancouver and Miller made 29 saves as the Canucks lost for the sixth time in eight games.Vancouver right wing Jannik Hansen, who lost consciousness and collapsed on the bench moments after a collision with Calgarys Dennis Wideman on Dec. 20, was back in the lineup after sitting out a game. Defenceman Dan Hamhuis missed his 14th straight game since injuring his leg against the Ducks on Nov. 20.The Canucks opened the scoring at 2:04 of the second. Hansen beat Fowler to a loose puck and circled the net before finding Weber way over at the right point for a 60-foot wrist shot that beat a screened Andersen to the stick side.Beauchemin tied it with 13:08 left in regulation, using Smith-Pelly as a screen and beating Miller with a slap shot from a few feet inside the blue line after Getzlaf won a faceoff deep in the Vancouver zone.We really pressed them the last period and a half, and I think it was good justice for our guys to get rewarded, Boudreau said.Beauchemins goal ended a 24-game drought by the 10-year veteran, who was playing in his second game after missing the previous 13 due to a broken finger. He also sat out five games last month because of the mumps.NOTES: Fifteen of Anaheims last 17 wins have been decided by one-goal. The Ducks are 14-0 in one-goal games that are decided in regulation or overtime. They have lost three times in shootouts. ...

You can watch the game live on TSN and TSN GO at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt. or listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1050 Toronto and TSN Radio 1260 Edmonton. The Spurs shot a Finals record 75.8 percent from the floor in the first half in Tuesdays Game 3. They blitzed the Heat during that first 24 minutes, building a 25-point lead at one point and posting a 111-92 victory. San Antonio registered 41 first-quarter points and led 71-50 after the first half. The Heat stormed back a bit in the third, but the Spurs were too much. They reclaimed homecourt advantage and snapped Miamis 11-game home winning streak in the postseason dating back to Game 1 of last years Finals. "We think we can win on every court. We have the best record on the road, and we love playing on the road. Sometimes I feel like we play better on the road than at home," Spurs guard Tony Parker said after practice on Wednesday. "So I dont think we had doubts that we can win in Miami. Now we realized it was a crazy game and were not going to play like that every night, thats for sure. But hopefully we can keep playing well." Kawhi Leonard was the hero for the Spurs on Tuesday with a career-high 29 points. Leonard, who had scored just 18 points over the first two games of the Finals, shot 10-of-13 from the floor and went 6-of-7 from the free throw line for the Spurs. "I was focused on both ends the first two games. I just got in some foul trouble. Wasnt really able to get into a rhythm, and Heat did a good job by playing aggressive on defense," said Leonard. "I just made shots last minute." In addition to his offensive output, Leonard served as the primary defender against LeBron James, who supplied 22 points, seven assists, five rebounds and five steals, but committed seven of Miamis 20 turnovers in the setback. Danny Greeen added 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting from the floor, while Parker and Tim Duncan contributed 15 and 14 points, respectively, in the victory.dddddddddddd Spurs coach Gregg Popovich made a change to the starting lineup prior to Game 3, inserting Boris Diaw for Tiago Splitter. The decision paid off as Diaw didnt post flashy numbers (nine points, three assists), but he helped facilitate the offense. For the Heat, the loss was bad and ruined a chance at a perfect home record during the postseason, but all is not lost. Miami is 13-0 following a loss in the playoffs dating back to 2012. "Youre always on edge in the postseason, but I dont want to be concerned at this point," James said after practice on Wednesday. "For us we have to make the adjustments. We owned what we had to do today in the film session and well come in with a better mindset tomorrow. But that doesnt mean it results in a win, too. But we have to play with a little bit more focus and a little bit more challenge." Dwyane Wade finished with 22 points, while Rashard Lewis went 4-of-5 from 3- point range en route to 14 points for the Heat. Wade, playing in his 150th career postseason game, surpassed Dirk Nowitzki (3,455) for 17th place on the NBAs all-time postseason scoring list. Chris Bosh had a slow night with only nine points thanks to just 12 touches. Mario Chalmers continued to struggle badly. He finished with just two points and has 10 for the whole series. "You want him to know we still have faith in him, trust in him and we need him," said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Wednesday. "And hes been able to play through tough times and been able to bounce back." Spoelstra indicated no lineup changes were forthcoming. The winner of Game 3 of a tied NBA Finals series has gone on to win the series 83 percent of the time (30-6). However, the Spurs won last years Game 3 with the set tied 1-1 and went on to lose in seven games to the Heat. Game 5 will be Sunday night back in San Antonio. ' ' '
