CLEMSON, S. Yeezy Store China Website .C. -- Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson isnt dwelling on how the third-ranked Tigers pick up their wins, just as long as they continue to be successful in the end.It has been a frenetic month of mid-game mistakes and lasts-minute rallies for the Tigers (8-0, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who pulled off their latest escape Saturday night in a 37-34 win at Florida State.Clemson has needed dramatic comebacks in three of its four October games, including in signature wins over No. 5 Louisville and the 19th-ranked Seminoles . In Watsons view, the end justifies the sometimes sloppy means in the Tigers second straight 8-0 start.Players make plays, this is what we are built for, Watson said Monday. We practice this every Wednesday, being down and having the opportunity to win the game.Clemson hopes to start a more dominating run to the finish the regular season, starting with Saturdays home game against Syracuse (4-4, 2-2). The Tigers have beaten 3-0 against the Orange since Syracuse joined the ACC.The Tigers have had their share of heart-stopping finishes so a comfortable victory would be welcomed.Clemson trailed Louisville 36-28 in the fourth quarter before Watson rallied his team for a pair of touchdown drives in the final seven minutes of the 42-36 victory Oct. 1. Two weeks later, the Tigers sweated out a missed, 33-yard field goal by North Carolina State that wouldve won the game to prevail in overtime, 24-17.This time, Clemson was down 28-20 in the third quarter and 34-29 with 3:23 remaining. But Watson and the Tigers responded with an efficient, smooth 75-yard TD drive ended by tight end Jordan Leggetts 34-yard catch and run where he leaped at the end and extended the ball across the goal line before falling out of bounds.Clemsons defense then forced two incompletions and notched two sacks after the Seminoles had advanced inside the Tigers 40 looking for a tying field goal.Im ecstatic about the way weve been able to finish this season, Clemson defensive back Ryan Carter said. Of course, I wish it werent always this close.Leggett ended with five catches for 122 yards, setting a single-game school record for receiving yards. He was named the ACC receiver of the week. Leggetts teammate, guard Tyrone Crowder, was the leagues offense player of the year as he helped Clemsons offense gain 511 yards on Florida State.Clemsons closing stretch features four opponents wholl all be heavy underdogs at pulling off the upset. Syracuse hung with the Tigers a year ago at the Carrier Dome before falling 37-27.Orange coach Dino Babers said the Tigers are a different-level opponent for his team. There are a lot of guys that are going to be millionaires on both sides of the football, offensively and defensively, playing for them, he said.After Syracuse comes Pitt, who Clemson faces Nov. 11 at home. The schools have not met since the Gator Bowl after the 1977 season. Clemson finishes ACC play at Wake Forest, which has not beaten the Tigers since 2008.If Clemson is still undefeated then, it concludes the year with South Carolina, which has lost the past two rivalry games and wont be anyones pick to spoil a second-straight perfect season.We know weve got a target on our backs and were going to get a teams best game, Carter said. We see it on the field and we know it is coming.Co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said last week that former Baylor coaching great and past American Football Coaches Association president Grant Teaff stopped by to visit the Tigers staff. Teaff told them hed watched several games and that the teams apparent belief in ultimate success during dire circumstances is a characteristic championship teams typically develop.We havent won a championship yet and weve got things to clean up, Scott said. Ultimately, our goal is to win games and I think our guys have bought into that.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Air Max 270 React Cheap .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

HOUSTON -- The Houston Rockets announced Thursday night the organization has renounced the rights to power forward Donatas Motiejunas, making him an unrestricted free agent.Rockets GM Daryl Morey said in a statement the team was in extensive discussions with Motiejunas agent, B.J. Armstrong, and the league office regarding his status.The decision comes one week after the Rockets signed Motiejunas to a four-year, $31 million deal. But after taking a physical, Motiejunas told ESPN he was sent home. Rockets officials declined to comment on whether Motiejunas failed the physical.Earlier this month, Motiejunas signed a $37 million offer sheet with the Brooklyn Nets, but after the Rockets matched the offer sheet, Motiejunas refused to report because of a dispute over incentives. The Rockets then lifted the offer sheet, keeping Motiejunas as a restricted free agent.Two days later, the Rockets signed Motiejunas to a new deal, but another hangup occurred last Friday after he reported for his physical.Thursdays development means Motiejunas is now an unrestricted free agent, and according to a source, he can now sign with any team but the Nets. Under the original terms of the offer sheet, he was not allowed to sign with the Nets for at least one season.With Motiejunas gone, the Rockets re-signed guard Bobby Brown, and he is likely to be available for Fridays gamee against the New Orleans Pelicans.

After undergoing a lumbar microdiscectomy on his back in April 2015, he suffered a setback during rehab and underwent a second minor procedure in the summer of 2015.Motiejunas eventually returned to the Rockets in the 2015-16 season, playing in 37 games. However, the Rockets traded him to the Detroit Pistons at the trade deadline, only to have that trade be rescinded by the league after he failed a physical.Motiejunas did return to the Rockets and finished the season without any medical issues. But this summer, Motiejunas was given a $4.4 million qualifying offer by the Rockets, something he rejected because he wanted a long-term deal from a team. With few offers, Motiejunas started the season on the shelf as the Rockets moved on without him.And now the Rockets have officially cut ties with him.Donatas was a true professional throughout his four seasons with the Rockets, Morey said in his statement. We wish Donatas the best moving forward and want to thank him for his contributions both on the court and in the community.Armstrong and Motiejuans did not return phone calls seeking comment. ' ' '
