NEW YORK -- Jason Collins dealt with the ticket requests, handled the media responsibilities, then moved on to what he most wants to do in the NBA. Hydro Flask 20 Oz Coffee . "Win basketball games," Collins said. He will get at least a few more chances. Collins played the final minutes of a winning home debut with the Brooklyn Nets, who cooled off the Chicago Bulls with a 96-80 victory Monday night. Finally playing at Barclays Center more than a week after returning to the NBA as the leagues first openly gay player, Collins checked in to a standing ovation from a sellout crowd of 17,732 that included former commissioner David Stern with 2:41 remaining. He committed a foul five seconds later, missed his only shot, grabbed a rebound and had one of the Nets NBA season high-tying 19 steals in their third straight victory. "It was cool. It was a lot of fun to go into the game," Collins said. "The most important thing was that we got the win. Chicagos been playing really well as of late and for us to come out and really be -- I think we played more physical than they did tonight." His first home game wont be his last, because the Nets plan to sign Collins to a second 10-day contract, a person with knowledge of the situation said. Collins signed his original deal on Feb. 23 and it expires Tuesday. The Nets then will re-sign him for another 10 days on Wednesday, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the plans havent been made public. After that expires, the Nets would have to sign him for the rest of the season if they wanted to keep him. Collins sat at the end of the bench for most of the game while the Nets built a series of comfortable leads, making the only intrigue down the stretch whether the 12-year veteran would get in during his first home appearance for the Nets since Jan. 29, 2008, against Milwaukee in East Rutherford, N.J. A chant of "Jason Collins! Jason Collins!" broke out while Deron Williams was shooting a free throw with the Nets leading 90-73 with 3:27 remaining. Fans finally got their wish less than a minute later -- though not because coach Jason Kidd was listening to them. "No, the game was out of hand, so I wanted to get those guys some rest," Kidd said. "D-Will was shooting free throws. Couldnt put Twin in at that time, so I told him after the free throws that he would come in." Collins said before the game that he wasnt aware of any second contract, leaving those details up to his agent. Kidd said those discussions were between management and Collins agent, but said his former teammate has been "great, on and off the court." "Twin is a good friend of mine and hes a basketball player, but hes a great person and so thats why we wanted him on this team and we felt he could help us win," Kidd said, referring to Collins by the nickname he had during his original stint with the Nets from 2001-08. The Nets still practice in New Jersey even after moving to Brooklyn before last season, so thats where Collins was Sunday after the Nets got back from their road trip that ended Saturday night in Milwaukee. He spent part of the day shopping at Costco, wisely stocking up since hell be sticking around. "Its kind of funny. Yesterday on my day off Im driving around Jersey on Route 17 and bringing back a lot of memories from when I was here before," Collins said. Hes much more famous now after revealing he was gay in a Sports Illustrated article last April. He had been out of the NBA from then until signing with the Nets. Collins said he had plenty of ticket requests from family and friends for Mondays game, and also saw a number of familiar faces from the old days. The pregame news conference and the overall media attention are new, and Collins believes it wont last, but understands that for now his sexuality makes him a big story. "Over time it will go down, but as far as doing interviews and talking about it, Im getting comfortable with the microphone or the camera on me," he said. Hes more comfortable on the court, even in the limited minutes he gets. Finally finished with his lengthy list of pregame obligations, he was looking forward to helping the Nets in whatever way he could. "Now that thats all settled, Ill go out there and just try to focus as much as I can on the game," Collins said.

Hydro Flask 32 Oz Straw Lid .com) - On the bright side, either the Minnesota Wild or Buffalo Sabres will end their losing streak on Thursday night. http://www.hydroflask32oz.com/water-bottle-straw-l...40-oz.h tml .C. -- Duke sophomore Rodney Hood is entering the NBA draft. WASHINGTON -- Andrew Dykstra earned a shutout in his first MLS start in nearly four years and D.C. United snapped a 15-match winless streak with a 2-0 victory over the New England Revolution on Saturday night. Substitute Chris Rolfe scored in second-half stoppage time to ensure the victory after United (1-2-1) went ahead late in the first half on an own goal by New England defender Jose Goncalves. It was Uniteds first win of the season and Rolfe scored his first goal of 2014 after being traded from the Chicago Fire this week. Uniteds winless streak dated to last August. Dykstra, starting for injured first-choice goalkeeper Bill Hamid, needed only one save to preserve the win in his first MLS action since July 2010. New England (1-3-1) lost via own goal only one match after securing its first win of the season over San Jose helped by an own goal scored by the Earthquakes. The Revolution have scored just twice this season while being shut out in four of their five matches. United went ahead in the 43rd minute when Goncalves misfired on a clearance of Cristians cross inside the left post andd beyond goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth. Hydro Flask 32 Oz Wide Mouth . . The Revolution had their chances after halftime but repeatedly failed to force Dykstra into saves. Teal Bunbury missed three decent attempts in the space of 10 minutes before being removed for Charlie Davies. Later, Diego Fagundez made contact on an acrobatic bicycle kick, but sent the shot just wide of Dykstras left post. On the other end, Uniteds Eddie Johnson had two late chances to score his first goal of the season and seal it for United. But he fired wide after reaching Fabian Espindolas pass, before Shuttleworth blocked him from close range in the 80th minute. But Espindolas stoppage-time cross found Rolfe, whose shot deflected off Shuttleworth and into the goal. Hamid has a left leg injury, according to the clubs Twitter feed. He joined the United States national team for Wednesdays exhibition against Mexico, but did not play. D.C. United honoured former United and Revolution midfielder Clyde Simms at halftime. Simms announced he was retiring before the 2014 season due to an ongoing battle with kidney disease. ' ' '
