LOS ANGELES -- Clippers guard Jamal Crawford will be named the NBAs Sixth Man of the Year for the second time in his career, a league official with knowledge of the award said. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the league hasnt announced the award. Crawford was the Clippers third-leading scorer and the NBAs top-scoring reserve with 18.6 points per game. He added 3.2 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game for the two-time Pacific Division champions. "Hes deserving of it," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "I dont know that theres a more lethal weapon in the league that you could bring off the bench." While starting just 24 of his 69 games this season, the shifty veteran guard had his highest scoring average since the 2009-10 season with Atlanta, where he won his first Sixth Man award. Crawford is the Clippers top perimeter threat, setting a franchise record with 161 3-pointers while making at least one 3-pointer in 63 games. The 6-foot-5 guard also finished ninth in the NBA by making 86.6 per cent of his free throws. Rivers believes Crawford will win the award for his all-around game, not just his shooting acumen. "Hes done this in the past, over the past couple years, where hes been so good offensively," Rivers said. "But I actually think he won it because I think voters saw him doing other things for the team -- playing defence, running the team at the point guard position when Chris Paul was out at times. Hes been the perfect utility player for a team. Hes been awesome." The 34-year-old Crawford has spent 14 NBA seasons with six teams, including lengthy stints with the Chicago Bulls and the New York Knicks. Although he once scored 52 points in a game and averaged more than 20 points per game during a season in New York, Crawford has carved out a career as a dependable rotation member with the Clippers for the last two years, delivering steady bench scoring and veteran leadership. Crawford likely would have received the award Tuesday night before the Clippers fifth playoff game against the Golden State Warriors, but the trouble surrounding Clippers owner Donald Sterling prevented it. Los Angeles leads the series 3-2 heading into Game 6 in Oakland on Thursday night. The Clippers are one win away from just their third playoff series victory in 33 years. Crawford is the fourth player to win the Sixth Man award twice in his career, joining Kevin McHale, Ricky Pierce and Detlef Schrempf. Crawford is the first to win it with two different teams.

The Argos also intercepted Durant three times to send Saskatchewan (8-3) to its second straight loss while Toronto (7-4) won its second in a row. The game was a back-and-forth affair with Saskatchewan scoring 20 straight points to erase an 11-0 deficit and the Argonauts adding 19 straight of their own in the fourth quarter. Chiles caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from Toronto QB Zach Collaros as well as the two-point convert to tie the game at 23 after Swayze Waters broke the Argos scoring drought with a 33-yard field goal to open the fourth. Toronto got the ball back immediately when Alonzo Lawrence caught Durants third interception of the game and Jerious Norwood capitalized on a two-yard touchdown run that put the Argonauts ahead for good. Saskatchewan got the ball back with 53 seconds left and Durant hit Chris Getzlaf with a 45-yard pass to set up an 18-yard TD throw to Getzlaf, making it 31-29. But Durants protection broke down on the two-point attempt to give the Argos the win. Durant finished 25 of 50 for 381 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. Collaros went 18 for 29 for 225 yards with one touchdown and one pick. After a week in which Saskatchewan lost to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, lost middle linebacker Rey Williams to a season-ending knee injury and had three players charged with aggravated assault, the Roughriders opened Saturday very much like a team on the ropes. Durant threw an interception to Demetrice Morley on his first pass of the game, leading to a one-yard touchdown run by Collaros, makingg his third straight start in place of the injured Ricky Ray.dddddddddddd Later in the quarter the Argos fumbled on a punt return, giving Saskatchewan the ball at Torontos 22-yard line. But a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty to Dominic Picard forced the Riders into second-and-long, and Cory Huclacks snap on the ensuing punt went over punter Ricky Schmitts head. That gave the Argonauts the ball at Saskatchewans 34-yard line and set up a 48-yard field goal from Waters, who also opened the scoring on a punt single. Still in the first Kory Sheets, the leagues leading rusher, left the game with a right-knee injury after getting rocked by Torontos Jonathan Williams. Chris Milo got the Riders on the board before the end of the quarter with a 33-yard field goal, tying Dave Ridgways club record with his 28th straight. But Saskatchewans woes continued in the second quarter when they couldnt capitalize after Weldon Brown intercepted Collaros near midfield. Milos 21-yard attempt hit the upright in the south end zone, preserving Torontos 11-3 lead. The Roughriders turnaround came after defensive end Ricky Foleys fourth sack of the season and the teams third of the game. Durant hit Chris Getzlaf with a 31-yard touchdown pass and the Riders got the ball right back when Prince Miller recovered a Jason Barnes fumble deep in Toronto territory. Milo made amends for his earlier gaffe with a 19-yard field goal to give Saskatchewan its first lead of the game, 13-10. The Argonauts fumbled on their next possession as well when Riders safety Tyron Brackenridge hit Chad Kackert near midfield. Durant extended the lead a few plays later with a 47-yard TD strike to Rob Bagg. Milo added a nine-yard field goal to give the Riders a 23-12 lead going into the fourth quarter.
