While Wiggle It Jiggleit will be in attendance for Saturdays $225,550 U.S. Pacing Championship, race 11 of 16 on the afternoon program at The Meadowlands, owner George Teague Jr. is here due to a commitment more than anything else.I made a promise to Jeff (Gural) to bring the horse here for Hambletonian Day and Im honoring that promise, said Teague about the 2015 Horse of the Year.Ideally it would have been nice to give him two weeks off, but hell be fine, he continued.Teagues commitment gave Gurals track the Big 3 for the U.S. Championship and though only seven entered, the stars are aligned.I think Always B Miki is the best right now, said Teague with an emphasis on the last two words.As for the 43 career starts over the course of three seasons for Wiggle It Jiggleit, the owner had this to say: I would say he is sounder now than he has ever been.Thats quite incredible, especially since earlier this year there were some times where his soundness appeared to be in question.Teague has never been disappointed in the horse and he continues to marvel as to just how well the gelding comes out of races that would appear to sap the strength from normal horses.Hes incredible. After the race in Saratoga and the long ship back he was up early the next morning cleaning out his feed and looking to get out of his stall, said Teague.There may be no rest for the weary, but dont count this 4-year-old son of Mr Wiggles among that group.As for Saturdays contest, Teague reiterated that he will not talk to his son Montrell about driving instructions while at the same time stressing what he would not like to see happen on Saturday.If Always B Miki wants to break a world record, Im okay with that, just let him do most of the work, said Teague, referring to the fact that in previous races both Freaky Feet Pete (post 4 on Saturday) and Wiggle It Jiggleit (post 6) have expelled a lot of energy in the early stages only to yield to Always B Miki afterwards.Look at how many 25 and change quarters they had to go in a row, Teague said.Though Always B Miki drew inside of his fellow Indiana-bred rivals with post three, the odds are again in his favor to reach the front after the quarter rather than duel before it. Last years Cane Pace upsetter, Dealt A Winner, appears to have arrived on the exact date a year later in peak condition for trainer Mark Silva. The son of Cams Card Shark blew out a 1:48 2/5 mile against cheaper company on July 23 at The Meadowlands preparing for this event. Andy Miller will guide him from the rail.Teague confirmed that if all goes well on Saturday, Wiggle It Jiggleit will ship to Indiana for the Dan Patch on August 12.

The frustration and losses keep piling up for the Detroit Pistons, who have very little time to correct their mistakes.Boston handed them their third consecutive defeat on Saturday, as Al Horfords putback with 1.3 seconds left allowed the Celtics to pull out a 94-92 victory. The Pistons had been the leagues lone remaining unbeaten team at home before Horford ruined the opener of a four-game homestand.It doesnt get any easier on Monday, when All-Star guard James Harden and the Houston Rockets visit The Palace.Its tough, Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy said. Weve lost three in a row now, six out of eight. Were in a really tough stretch. That weighs on everybody.Van Gundy would like extended practice time to work on some of his teams issues but the rugged schedule wont allow it. The Pistons are in a three-week stretch where they play 13 games, with no more than one day off in-between those games.I think we just have to build better habits, he said. I was talking to (forward) Tobias (Harris) and you can see the difference as we get less and less practice time here. Our habits arent good enough right now to carry us through, and so we had that one real good day in San Antonio (Nov. 10), where we spent a lot time working on getting the ball from side to side and moving the ball. It helped us for a few days. Now were a long way from that.Detroit (6-8) wasnt that far from getting a victory on Saturday. It failed to secure the rebound in the closing seconds and that proved to be the difference.When you get in tight games like that, its all the little things thatt add up, Harris said.dddddddddddd We gave them five points within the span of two seconds at the end of quarters. Its little plays like those that we have to take away and be locked in and focused on. We need every little thing -- every loose ball, every 50-50 ball, every rebound and stuff like that. It will help us be a great team.The Rockets (8-5) are feeling good about themselves after winning two straight, including a 111-102 win over Utah on Saturday. Harden had another stellar outing -- 31 points, 10 assists and no turnovers in 35 minutes. Hes averaging 28.7 points and a league-high 12.5 assists.Houston also got a big night from its young center, Clint Capela, who contributed a career-high 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists.He had a monster game and I dont think that he did anything that he cant keep repeating, Rockets coach Mike DAntoni told the Houston Chronicle. Its just what he does. Hes much more comfortable, I think, offensively.Houston also received some big performances from two veteran bench players who signed with the club as free agents this summer. Guard Eric Gordon had 20 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while forward Nene contributed 16 points and six rebounds.Were getting better, Harden told ESPN.com. Were continuing to get better and to grow. Each and every guy knows their role. They do it at a high level, and the result is we dont turn the basketball over and we get really good shots. ' ' '
