ELIZABETH, N.J. -- NBA referees will be cracking down this season on the kind of hits to the groin area that resulted in Draymond Greens suspension during the NBA Finals.They also will more closely monitor traveling after complaints from coaches that players are getting away with too many steps on the perimeter.The referees were informed and instructed about those items this week during their preseason meetings and training camp.The hits to the groin -- termed unnatural acts by the league -- are a point of emphasis after a number of situations involving Green during the postseason. Golden States All-Star forward had a habit of flailing his arms or legs and a few times made contact with opponents in the groin area.He was finally suspended after hitting Clevelands LeBron James during the Finals and missed Game 5 because of an accumulation of flagrant foul points. Cleveland rallied to beat Golden State for the title in seven games.Joe Borgia, the NBA senior vice president of replay and referee operations, said players are no longer just swinging their arms in attempt to draw a foul when taking a shot.Now all of a sudden legs are coming out in different directions at weird times, theyre coming higher, he said. Well, for the protection of the players, were going to stop it.Another point of emphasis is making sure players are allowed freedom of movement away from the ball.Critics have long griped that walking isnt called enough in the NBA, and coaches shared the complaint with officials at their recent meeting. Referees will watch especially for players who spot up behind the 3-point arc looking to shoot, but then are chased off by a defender and often get away with an extra step as they begin their dribble.Also, referees manning the Replay Center in Secaucus, New Jersey, will continue to be given greater responsibility this season. Owners will vote on a plan in October to have the replay official make the ruling on all plays that are reviewed, except for ones involving flagrant fouls and fights.Former referee Lee Jones was voted the winner of the inaugural Greg Willard Spirit Award, recognizing a current or former official for his service, professionalism and leadership. Jones officiated 1,749 regular-season games and 71 playoff games from 1971-96.Bob Delaney, the NBAs vice president of referee operations and director of officials, said if an active referee wins the award, he would for one game wear the former No. 57 of Willard, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2013 at 54.Nike Air Max 270 React Bauhaus Cheap .

Moments later, he was credited with the winning goal without having taken the shot.Bourque had two goals, including the game-winner when Nikolaj Ehlers scored into his own net, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Friday night.Bourque was given the score after Ehlers backhanded the puck through the legs of teammate Toby Enstrom and past goaltender Michael Hutchinson 1:23 into overtime.I felt some pressure from two guys and thought I had some support, Ehlers said. I tried to get the puck off the boards and to Toby. The puck got past him and into the net.Bourque wasnt bothered by the way he got credit for the goal.Ill take 20 more of those, he said. I was just behind the net and it kind of got moved to the corner and we were still battling two-on-two and he got the loose puck and just fired it. I didnt even see it.Mikko Rantanen scored his first career goal and Semyon Varlamov had 16 saves for the Avalanche, who lost center Matt Duchene to a head injury suffered in the second period.I know they said in the intermission they were going to take a look at him and then I got word on the bench he wasnt coming back, Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. Im hoping hes going to be back (soon), but I have to talk with them and see what the plan is for him. Hes played real well for us. Hes been the driving force to the bulk of our offense this season.Blake Wheeler had a goal and an assist, Mark Scheifele also scored and Ehlers had two assists. Hutchinson finished with 25 saves two weeks after blanking Colorado here.Varlamov didnt face many shots but came up with a big save in overtime when he stopped Wheeler on a breakaway, and moments later Bourque scored.I never thought the game would end the way it, Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice said. The pass went to thhe net and it should never had gotten through.dddddddddddd But that play wasnt the reason we lost tonight.Rantanen, who played in nine games last season and started this year in the AHL, got his first goal 1:03 into the second period. He got the puck at the right circle, looked for a passing lane before putting one off Hutchinsons shoulder and in just 15 seconds into Colorados power play.They gave me enough room, Rantanen said. I tried to look first, look (for a) tip for (Gabriel Landeskog) but it wasnt open so I just tried to rip it over the glove and this time it went in.Bourque gave Colorado a 2-0 lead at 9:33 of the second, his third goal of the season.The Jets wiped out the lead with goals 2:33 apart. Wheeler got Winnipeg within with 6:33 left and Scheifele tied it with a power-play goal later in the period.Winnipeg defenseman Jacob Trouba made his season debut after signing a two-year deal with the team Monday. Trouba was a restricted free agent and held out to start the season.Trouba had two shots on goal in 23:14 of ice time.It was good. I didnt really know too much what to expect, Trouba said. After the first period I thought I started feeling the puck a little better and making a couple better reads. Obviously there is some adjusting, overall I thought it was pretty well.Game notesFormer Avalanche star and Hockey Hall of Famer Peter Forsberg was in attendance. ...
