AUSTIN, Texas — DustinJohnson and Phil Mickelson showed the simple side to theDell Technologies Match Play. For three straight days in warmth, wind or rain, they built early leads and never letanyone get close to them in advancing out of their groupsto the knockout stage.

For just about everyone else,it was a matter of surviving.

Bill Haas delivered anotheramazing escape when he chipped in from 120 feet to save par and extend a sud­den­death playoff that he eventually won.

Marc Leishman made it tothe round of 16 by playing two holes on Friday. He was awarded a victory because Ja­son Day withdrew on Wednesday, got a reprieve when Lee Westwood beat PatPerez to force a three­man playoff, and beat Westwood on the second hole. — AP

BOSTON — Devin Bookerscored 70 points for the Suns,becoming the sixth different player in NBA history to reach that total, but the Celt­ics got 34 points from Isaiah Thomas and outlasted Phoe­nix 130­120 on Friday night.

Booker joined Wilt Cham­berlain, Kobe Bryant, David Thompson, David Robinson and Elgin Baylor as the NBA’s 70­point scorers. Bay­lor also held the previous re­cord against the Celtics with 64 points in Minneapolis for the Lakers on Nov. 8, 1959.

“This doesn’t happen veryoften especially against a re­ally good defensive team likethe Boston Celtics,” Booker said. “It’s a zone. It’s kind of hard to explain. I’ve been in those zones before, but neverto this extent.”

Just 20 years old, Bookerscored 51 after halftime. The win was Boston’s third straight, and avenged its buzzer­beater loss in Phoe­nix earlier this month. — AP

Booker drops 70 in loss

By ZACH BRAZILLER

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Friday night’sSweet 16 loss didn’t end the Steve Alford era at UCLA and it didn’t start one at Indiana.

At least, that’s what the UCLAcoach said after his third­seeded Bruins fell to No. 2 Kentucky, 86­75, at FedExForum.

“I said it last week, and I’ll reiter­ate it again even more so that I love Los Angeles. To begin with, it’s a beautiful place, and our family has fallen in love with it,” Alford said. “I’m very happy. I’m at UCLA. I don’t know of a lot of people that areout there wanting to leave UCLA.”

Rumors have run rampant that Al­ford, who led Indiana as a player to the 1987 national title, would replacefired Hoosiers coach Tom Crean. FOX Sports analyst Doug Gottlieb said it was a “done deal,” and severalother notable outlets have reported the possibility Alford would go backto Bloomington, Ind. But that doesn’t appear to be the case.

“I am absolutely 100 percent notgoing to Indiana. Staying at UCLA. I

am happy. Love it here,” Alford, an Indiana native, later told ESPN. “Have a great class coming in, and [a] brand­new practice facility. Obvi­ously, I love my alma mater. Com­mitted to UCLA. I am not going to talk to Indiana. I am staying a Bruin.”

While Lonzo Ball is headed to theNBA, announcing his UCLA career was over after the loss, the Bruins will welcome the second­ranked re­cruiting class in the country next year, according to Scout.com, led byfive­star prospects Jaylen Hands and Kris Wilkes. They also are opening a new state­of­the­art bas­ketball practice facility, called the The Mo Ostin Basketball Center, and are coming off their most wins — 31 — in a season since 2007­08.

“I’m very, very happy where I’mat, and hopefully that’ll continue,” Alford said.
