DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Dec.

London, Dec. 6 : Key Chelsea players John Terry and Frank Lampard have reportedly questioned coach Phil Scolari’s coaching techniques.

Terry and Lampard went to see Scolari on Thursday to ask him to increase the intensity in training. Both stars feel the coaching has become too laid back and repetitive and that it is transmitting itself on to the field.

While Lampard publicly called for Chelsea to be less predictable, Terry questioned the desire of his teammates to make a go of it in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

LAQUINTA, Calif., Dec. 5 -- James Nitties and Glen Day shared the lead Friday midway through the six-round PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament in California.

Nitties went into the third round with the lead by himself and stayed atop the standings by firing a 3-under 69. Day, who won a PGA Tour event in 1999 and finished 15th on the money list in 1999, stormed through the field with a 64.

That left the co-leaders at 15-under 201. Geoffrey Sisk was alone in third at 203.

The low 25 finishers and ties will earn their way onto the PGA Tour next year. The Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course and Stadium Course at PGA West are home to the event. Every competitor will play each course three times.

ATLANTA, Dec. 5  -- Joe Johnson's jump shot gave Atlanta a three-point lead with 1:32 to play Friday and the Hawks held on to defeat New York 98-95.

Neither side managed to score after Johnson's field goal. Atlanta won its third straight game -- and its sixth in eight games.

Johnson scored 17 points and had seven assists. Josh Smith added 16 for the Hawks and Al Horford had 14.

New York, losers of three straight and five out of six, got 27 points from Al Harrington. He missed a three-point attempt with 55 seconds to play.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Dec. 5  -- Jason Jaffray scored the game's final goal 3:52 into the second period Friday and the Vancouver Canucks made the lead stand up for 2-1 victory over Minnesota.

The Canucks ended a four-game losing streak and jumped past Minnesota into first place in the Northwest Division.

It was the first goal for Jaffray this season and only the third of his NHL career. He was recalled to the Canucks this week from Manitoba of the American Hockey League.

Vancouver owned a 1-0 lead after the first period on Kevin Bieksa's power-play goal, but Mikko Koivu tied it 27 seconds into the second with a wrist shot that got past Cory Schneider.
