Raptors rout Bucks
to even East finals
By IAN HARRISON
Associated Press
TORONTO — Kyle
Lowry scored 25 points,
Kawhi Leonard had 19 and
the Toronto Raptors beat
the Milwaukee Bucks 120-
102 on Tuesday to even the
Eastern Conference finals
at two games apiece.
Serge Ibaka had 17
points and 13 rebounds
for the Raptors, who
improved to 7-2 at home
this postseason.
Reserve Norm Powell
scored 18 points, and Marc
Gasol had 17 points and a
team-high seven assists.
The home team has won
all four games in the series
so far. Game 5 is Thursday
night in Milwaukee.
Giannis Antetokoun-
mpo had 25 points and
10 rebounds for the top-
seeded Bucks. Khris Mid-
dleton scored 30 points.
Milwaukee lost its sec-
ond straight following a
six-game winning streak.
It dropped consecutive
games just once during the
regular season, at Utah on
March 2 and at Phoenix on
March 4.
Toronto’s Fred VanV-
leet, who missed 16 of 20
shot attempts through the
first three games of the
series, went 5 for 6 from
the field in Game 4. He
made each of his three
3-point tries and finished
with 13 points.
Ahead 94-81 to start
the fourth, the Raptors
extended their lead with a
10-3 spurt, including seven
points from VanVleet.
Powell’s fast-break layup
with 8:35 left put Toronto
up 104-84.
Antetokounmpo shot 5
for 8 in the opening frame-
but went 4 for 9 the rest of
the way.
Leonard missed three
of his four attempts in the
first but Lowry scored 12
points for the Raptors,
who rallied from an early
seven-point deficit to lead
32-31 after one.
After scoring the final
four points of the first
quarter, the Raptors wid-
ened their lead with a 9-0
run to begin the second.
Leonard and Pascal
Siakam, who both played
more than 50 minutes in
Game 3, looked sluggish
in the opening half. Leon-
ard missed the only shot he
took in the second, while
Siakam played fewer than
three minutes in the sec-
ond after picking up his
third foul. Siakam had two
points at halftime.
Leonard came up limp-
ing after dunking early in
the third, but remained in
the game. Siakam com-
pleted a three-point play
that put Toronto up 73-60
with 8:43 left.
Ilyasova missed a 3 with
3:50 remaining in the third
that could have cut the
deficit to four points. Pow-
ell replied with a 3 and,
following miss by Mal-
colm Brogdon, Leonard
drained a jumper to push
Toronto’s lead to 86-74.

Mariners tailspin continues in Texas
ARLINGTON,
Texas
(AP) — Lance Lynn allowed
two runs over seven innings
and Shawn Kelley earned
the save hours after learn-
ing that two lumps removed
from his throat last week
were benign as the Texas
Rangers beat the Seattle
Mariners 5-3 on Tuesday
night.
Lynn (6-3) gave up five
singles and one walk and
had a season-high 11 strike-
outs and one walk in his
200th career start. Kelley,
who was activated from the
10-day injured list on Tues-
day, allowed a ninth-inning
homer to Omar Narváez,
who had three hits, in earn-
ing his third save of the
season.
The loss continued a tail-
spin for Seattle, which is
10-26 since a 13-2 start.
Nomar Mazara had three
hits, an RBI and scored one
of two runs on a sacrifice fly
after initially being ruled out
at the plate before a success-
ful Texas challenge. Joey
Gallo hit a two-run home
run, his 15th of the season,
in the eighth inning.
Lynn had a shutout going
into the seventh and, with
the tying run at second base
and one out, struck out Tim
Beckham and J.P. Crawford
to hold the lead.
The Rangers have won
six of their last seven games
to reach .500 at 23-23. Last

last in the American League
West at 67-95.
Left-hander
Tommy
Milone (0-1) allowed two
runs on three hits in five
innings in his first major
league start of the sea-
son. Milone’s contract was
selected from Triple-A
Tacoma earlier in the day.
Mazara scored on a
fly to hit to centerfielder
Mitch Haniger by Asdrúbal
Cabrera in the fourth inning
after a video review showed
Mazara touched the plate
with his left hand before
being tagged by catcher

The Mariners played
without second baseman
Dee Gordon and third base-
man Ryon Healy, each
placed on the 10-day injured
list before the game. Gordon
has a right wrist contusion,
and Healy has lower back
inflammation.
Rookie Shed Long,
recalled from Tacoma,
replaced Gordon and sin-
gled in the sixth inning for
his first major league hit in
his 11th big league at-bat.

finale on Wednesday after-

Wagner not participating in Seahawks activities
By TIM BOOTH
Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. —
Bobby Wagner will be
present for the Seattle Sea-
hawks’ optional offseason
activities.
Just don’t expect him to
take part.
That was the message
delivered by the All-Pro
middle linebacker on Tues-
day as Seattle continued
the first week of organized
team activities. Wagner’s
contract is up after next
season and he indicated
there had been preliminary
talks regarding a new deal.
But until one is in place, he
will be a spectator during
the optional workouts.
“I will be here. That will
be my participation,” Wag-
ner said. “I will be here
helping the young guys,
doing whatever I can.”
Wagner’s contract sit-
uation is one of Seattle’s
remaining loose ends this
offseason. Defensive tackle
Jarran Reed is still also
playing under a deal that’s
up after the upcoming sea-
son. The Seahawks took
care of quarterback Rus-
sell Wilson with a massive

coordinator Ken Norton Jr. during an NFL football practice
on Tuesday in Renton, Wash.
new deal and traded Frank
Clark to Kansas City to
obtain more draft picks.
For now, Wagner has to
prepare as though this is
his final year in Seattle.
“I am honoring the con-
tract. I am here, participat-
ing, helping the young guys
to be the best they can be,”
Wagner said. “So I am here
and that’s what I want to
do. This is my decision. So
as of right now there is no
other years for me left here
so that was just a very hon-
est opinion that if I don’t
get a deal done, that’s it.
But I believe there is some-
thing that can happen.”
Wagner’s
position
doesn’t create the distrac-
tion of a contract holdout
but it does make it clear he
doesn’t intend to take any
risks. He saw both sides of
what can happen in his own
locker room with two play-
ers entering the final year of
their deals.
Earl Thomas held out
last year, appeared to create
friction with the front office
and left in free agency fol-
lowing an injury that ended
his season early. Mean-
while, K.J. Wright showed
up for the offseason pro-
gram, missed significant
time with a knee injury, but
was still rewarded with a
new deal.
Wagner said balancing
all those different scenarios
is playing into his decision
now.
“It’s a tricky situation
and this is a business. You
get hurt, they don’t pay you,
so you’ve got to be mind-
ful of that,” he said. “You
all know I’m a professional,
I’m going to be in shape, I
work out every single day so
you all don’t have to worry
about me being in shape and
my mind is going to always
be sharp.”
The 28-year-old is rep-
resenting himself in nego-
tiations, bypassing an agent
for the first time in his
career. He does have a tar-
get for the kind of contract
he’s seeking after C.J. Mos-
ley signed with the New
York Jets this offseason for
an average of $17 million
per season.
“I mean, the number is
the number, the market is
the market,” Wagner said.
“That’s the top linebacker
market. That is the stan-
dard and so that is the plan
to break that.”
