WIMBLEDON, London -- Its the pick of the last-16 matches in the mens singles as the hero of the home crowd meets the villain of popular perception. ESPNs Darren Cahill, who has worked with Andy Murray and coached Andre Agassi and Lleyton Hewitt, and world No.21 Feliciano Lopez, who has hit with the Briton many times and was beaten by Nick Kyrgios in the last round, identify the potential pivotal points:Emotional controlNick Kyrgios demeanour on court could keep body language experts occupied for hours but when he finished his victory against Lopez on Sunday he was business-like and relaxed -- and played his best tennis of the tournament.There was still a code violation for time wasting and the Australian felt he needed to apologise afterwards for using the word retard when berating his team on Saturday night. Cahill insisted he just has to get the balance right.I dont think anyone wants him to be perfect because hes a great personality. He brings a lot of that firepower on to the court, the Australian coach said.We just want him to get better and learn from his experiences. He seems to be doing that and his tennis is improving and becoming more consistent. He is now beating the guys he should be and putting himself in the position where he can challenge the top guys.Players boxMurray and Kyrgios have been in the habit of taking out all their frustrations on the figures in their corners during matches. The 21-year-olds team dont seem to be able to do much right in his eyes when hes playing, and hes admitted he is a pest, so how much they will be able to influence his chances is hard to say.Murray was also getting increasingly vocal towards his players box under previous coach Amelia Mauresmo but he has calmed down under Ivan Lendl and Cahill claimed he was feeling an important benefit from the change which could make a difference.Amelie did a marvellous job at a difficult time after Andys back surgery and got him to finals, Cahill said. Ivan coming at this point, he looks hungry and focused again. Hes enjoying his tennis and training.To me its a 1-2 percent X-factor with Ivan. The player feels good hearing the voice that he knows hes played his best tennis with, had Grand Slam success with, and if you walk a little taller and stand a little prouder in the big moments it makes a difference at that level.ServeLopez says that Murray has improved his second serve a lot lately but that is an area which experts have frequently said opponents should target.Andy does give you looks on his serve but you have to stay close enough in sets to put that pressure on him, Cahill said, adding: Nicks really going to have to take care of his own serve.Murray has won 80 percent of points on his first serve at these championships while Kyrgios has only garnered points from 69 percent.Lopez said he was impressed with the ATP tour No.18s serve, but he will have his work cut out to make it pay against Murray, who the Spaniard said was one of the best defenders in the game -- he returns unbelievably.ConcentrationMurrays weakness here could be the lure of dreaming about the prize that could await him at Wimbledon. With Novak Djokovic out, the Briton is the favourite and will have to prevent his mind from wandering if he takes an early lead.Nick is a big obstacle to Murray for sure, said Cahill. But there are a lot of players in that half who can cause problems.The distractions for Kyrgios seem to be myriad, although identifying them precisely is difficult. He has said he can be fired up by some of the issues he becomes embroiled in on court but Cahill was more concerned about his conduct during play.Murray will make him pay for a bit of that junk tennis that he sometimes makes other players uncomfortable with, Cahill said.If Nick gets a small lead in the match sometimes hell play a couple of loose points but then hell be able to serve his way out of trouble. Murray will make you pay for one or two cheap points in a game. He leaves no room for that.FatigueKyrgios has played 13 sets and had his last two matches stretch over more than a day, with a total on-court time of 7 hours, 14 minutes. Murray, who has played all his matches on Centre Court, has only had 5 hours, 32 minutes of competition and needed only nine sets to get to the same stage.Nick has had one of the toughest draws of anybody, Cahill said after Kyrgios beat Radek Stepanek, Dustin Brown and Lopez.Hes had no easy matches in the first three rounds so when it comes to playing pressure tennis and making every point count, hes had that from the very first match against Stepanek. Hes going to go in match tough.Physically he looks OK. If he was suffering I think that would have shown on Sunday. So I dont think fatigue will be a factor early on, but it might be if it becomes a long match.

As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

PHILADELPHIA -- Up until the start of Saturdays game, it seemed unlikely that Joel Embiid would play at all.He ended up having the best game of his short NBA career.Fighting through a sprained left ankle, Embiid scored a career-high 26 points in 20 minutes, and the Philadelphia 76ers routed the Phoenix Suns 120-105 for their most convincing win of the season.I felt great, Embiid said. When you play, you dont really pay attention to those kind of things. During the game, I was fine. Even now, its fine.Nik Stauskas added a season-high 21 points on 8-for-9 shooting for the Sixers, who have split their last six games after starting the season with seven straight losses. Sergio Rodriguez had eight points, 11 assists and eight rebounds.Eric Bledsoe led Phoenix (4-10) with 27 points. The Suns have lost three of their first four on their six-game road trip.You give any team confidence at home and they can get rolling, Suns coach Earl Watson said. They have a lot of confidence here. The crowd was energetic and Embiid in limited minutes was more than effective.Embiid was 3 for 5 from 3-point range and 9 for 14 from the field overall. He also grabbed seven rebounds and blocked two shots, including a ferocious one on Devin Booker in the second quarter that got the crowd roaring.The 7-foot-2 center, playing in just his ninth NBA game after a pair of foot surgeries sidelined him for his first two seasons, reached his career high on a jumper with 8:30 left.After a three-point play from Bledsoe got Phoenix within six midway through the third quarter, the Sixers reeled off a 10-0 run to open an 82-66 lead. They led by double figures the rest of the way against a banged-up Phoenix team playing the second end of a back-to-back.We got stops, we made some shots and we took off again, Sixers coach Brett Brown said.Embiid and Booker were game-time decisions due to sprained ankles. Each of them started and Embiid, hurt two nights earlier, jumped all over the Suns, scoring Phillys first eight points and 10 in the first three minutes, including a ppair of 3-pointers.ddddddddddddLater in the first quarter, Embiid had eight points in a 10-0 run that helped Philadelphia to a 31-17 advantage, capping the spurt with his third 3 from the top of the key.Thats what makes him so tough to stop, Stauskas said. Obviously hes a dominant force down low but sometimes the bigs arent willing to step up to the line to guard him. And hes making people pay right now with that top-of-the-key 3-pointer.Booker finished with 10 points on 4-for-13 shooting.TIP-INSSuns: The Suns were without T.J. Warren (illness) and Tyson Chandler (mothers funeral). ... Phoenix recalled rookie forward Derrick Jones Jr. from D-League affiliate Northern Arizona before the game.76ers: After shooting 1 for 5 from the field, slumping sharpshooter Robert Covington has missed 27 of his last 31 shots, leading to plenty of boos from the crowd. ... The Sixers have won three straight at home, but dropped their last 21 on the road -two away from matching a franchise record.THE EMBIID PROCESSEmbiid, who already has missed four games this season as the Sixers slowly ease him back, was limited to 24 minutes or less. Jahlil Okafor, who platoons with him at center, was under the same minutes restriction because of knee surgery last season.I hope to play those two together, Brown said. With the minutes restriction, its kind of impossible right now.BOOKER GUTS IT OUTWatson said Booker struggled after returning from his own ankle injury. But the Suns coach was impressed that the second-year rising star was able to play at all.He gave us all he had, Watson said. He knew he wanted to play because we didnt have T.J. He sacrificed his body. Thats just the type of person he is. You could see he could barely move.BOMBS AWAYThe Sixers matched a franchise r
