Breitmann Tuning » Sterling. A rapid free kick caught QPR offguard

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Timberwolves forward Dante Cunningham was arrested early Thursday on allegations of domestic assault and was being held without bail pending charges while his team left for a two-game road trip in Florida. Cunningham was booked into Hennepin County Jail just after 6 a.m., according to police records. The woman involved in the incident at Cunninghams suburban Minneapolis home did not require medical treatment, police said. The Timberwolves issued a statement saying they were aware of Cunninghams arrest and were in the process of gathering more information. "The Minnesota Timberwolves organization takes the matter very seriously and does not condone the type of behaviour that is associated with this situation," the statement read. "However, we need to let the legal process run its course, and will have further comment at the appropriate time." The team left for Miami on Thursday afternoon. The Wolves play the Heat on Friday and the Orlando Magic on Saturday before returning home. The 26-year-old Cunningham has been one of coach Rick Adelmans most trusted bench players over the last two years and is the primary backup to Kevin Love at power forward. He has played centre in smaller lineups and has been able to guard almost every position besides point guard for a defensively challenged team. In his fifth year in the league, Cunningham is averaging 6.0 points and 4.0 rebounds this season. He is set to become a free agent on July 1 after completing the final year of his contract that pays him $2.1 million this season. Cunninghams arrest further depletes an already thin frontcourt for the Wolves. Center Nikola Pekovic has been bothered for the entire second half of the season by a sore right ankle while Ronny Turiaf just returned from a bruised right knee that caused him to miss 19 games. In an unrelated move, the Timberwolves waived veteran point guard A.J. Price on Thursday. Price played sparingly in 28 games for the Wolves this season, averaging 1.6 points. He had been unavailable recently after having an emergency appendectomy. Before Price was waived, the Wolves had the maximum 15 players on their roster, meaning they could not bring another player in. Cutting Price gives the team the flexibility to add a player, but Price was informed of the decision on Wednesday night after the Timberwolves defeated the Memphis Grizzlies and hours before Cunningham was arrested.

Vargas then equalized in the 87th for the first of his two goals.QPR certainly did not deserve to lose. We were lucky to get the win, but we showed tremendous character, Rodgers said. We were a bit better in the second half but QPR definitely deserved something from the game.Despite its third straight defeat, QPR manager Harry Redknapp saw many positives but thought his team should have played out for a draw at the end.Thats the best Ive seen the team play since Ive been here, Redknapp said. Everywhere I thought we were fantastic. Today we went after them all over the park and we won our battles in 90 per cent of positions but in the end we got done for being naive.QPR started best and Charlie Austin had the games first meaningful opportunity in the 9th. After forcing his way into the penalty area, his first shot was saved by goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and from the rebound he could only find the side netting.QPR continued to press forward and midfielder Leroy Fer was twice denied bby the crossbar in the space of five minutesHis first effort cannoned off the top of the bar in the 27th and, after his second attempt, Austins follow up was cleared off the line with Mignolet stranded.ddddddddddddA lacklustre opening period for Liverpool saw captain Steven Gerrard curl a shot just wide in the 44th.The visitors improved after the interval and should have taken the lead in the 62nd but for an erratic attempt from Balotelli. After Adam Lallanas initial shot was parried by goalkeeper Alex McCarthy, the striker blazed over from six yards out with the goal unguarded.Those frustrations seemed to have been quelled when Dunne put through his own net after quick thinking from Raheem Sterling. A rapid free kick caught QPR offguard and Glen Johnsons cross was accidentally sent into his own net by Dunne.QPR drew level for the first time when Vargas directed Austins header into the net, eight minutes after his introduction for Bobby Zamora.However, Coutinho struck in the 90th, bending a shot beyond McCarthy after being fed by Gerrard.Vargas responded with his second in the 91st after his near-post header edged over Mignolets goal line, before another own goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time handed Liverpool the points.Sterling broke away down the right before his attempted cross for Balotelli was cut out by Caulker. Despite intercepting the pass, Caulker managed to guide the ball into the net to the disbelief of players and supporters.Were still in shock to be honest. We were very lucky today, said Gerrard. The only credit we can give ourselves is that we never gave up.The win lifts Liverpool into fifth place on 13 points while QPR remain bottom of the table after collecting four points from their opening eight matches.
