Here is the latest Washington, Oregon and Alaska sports news from The Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) – The Seattle Sounders advanced to the MLS Cup Western Conference finals for the second time in franchise history despite playing to a 0-0 draw with FC Dallas in the second leg of the conference semifinals last night. The two-leg series finished tied 1-1 on aggregate but Seattle moved on thanks to its road goal in the first game in Dallas. Road goals were implemented as a tiebreaker this year.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Brandon Mebane suffered a hamstring injury, according to coach Pete Carroll, with no timetable on when he could return. Mebane’s injury was the biggest blow from Seattle’s 38-17 win over the New York Giants on Sunday. Mebane was injured during the first half of Seattle’s third straight win.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Chiefs have lost backup running back Cyrus Gray for the season with a torn knee ligament. Tight end Demetrius Harris is also sidelined with a broken foot. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said the rest of the team came out relatively healthy heading into Sunday’s showdown against the Super Bowl champion Seahawks.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Kawhi Leonard tied his career high with 26 points despite playing with only one good eye, and the San Antonio Spurs closed with a rush to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 89-85 last night. Leonard’s vision has been affected by a case of conjunctivitis. Tim Duncan added 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Tony Parker scored nine of his 13 in the fourth quarter for the Spurs, who snapped a two-game skid while earning their first road win.
