Jordan plays his final game
WASHINGTON — Michael Jordan received a U.S. flag from Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to begin a night that ended with yet another loss in his final home game as an NBA player.
The Associated Press
Jordan received a mild pregame ovation and a larger one afterward as he scored 21 points with eight rebounds in a 93-79 loss last night to the New York Knicks.
Allan Houston scored 23 points to lead the Knicks, who tied the Wizards for ninth place in the Eastern Conference — something that will matter only on draft lottery day.
After the game, Wizards owner Abe Pollin donated 50 computers to each of Washington's 18 public high schools. The computer labs will be named after Jordan.
Jordan did not address the crowd before leaving the court.
The Wizards lost their final five home games and will finish at least six games under .500. Washington ends its season Wednesday night at Philadelphia.
Jordan come out firing, taking nine shots in the first quarter, but he once again he couldn't make the difference on a team with uneven talent and questionable chemistry. In the fourth quarter, typically Jordan-time, he scored just two points and left the game for good with 2:02 to play.
As Jordan sat, the MCI Center crowd rose to its feet and cheered and chanted for 2 minutes,45 seconds — a sharp contrast to the token ovation he received when the starting lineups were announced.
Rumsfeld received a loud ovation before presenting Jordan with a flag that flew over the Pentagon on the one-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The two shook hands and chatted
briefly, and Jordan cradled the flag in his right hand, with his head bowed, as the national anthem played.
Jordan's introduction lasted just 25 seconds, with the cheers not much louder than the ones for Rumsfeld. It was some 3 1/2 minutes shorter than the one he received in his final game at Chicago earlier this season.
Jordan himself tried not to make a big deal out of the game, with the greater focus on Wednesday's season finale.
"It's just another night, really," Jordan said after the morning shootaround. "I know that this is my last home game in Washington, D.C., and that is something I definitely will treasure, but I woke up this morning and I thought that there was this certain feeling that I should be feeling — and I had breakfast, coffee, did my normal stuff — and nothing seems out of the ordinary."

Sweeney helps Royals' streak
The Associated Press
CLEVELAND
CLEVELAND — Mike Sweeney was breathing easier, so he returned to the Kansas City lineup and really cut loose.
Sweeney, recovered from the flu, hit a three-run double and a solo home run as the Royals sought to start a new winning streak yesterday with a 12-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians.
"It felt good to come through when the club needed me," said Sweeney, who snapped a 1-for-17 slide with a bases-loaded double. "It was a sigh of relief."
Tucker was the third batter and second Royals player hit in the game, one day after the
"I've never been thrown out before and the reason I'm mad is there was no warning." Sadler said. "I truly didn't hit him on purpose. I'm a situational lefty trying to get a lefty hitter out, not hit him and load the bases."
The Royals' 10-1 start is the best in team history through 11 games.
"It's nice to see the boys came back right away," manager Tony Pena said. "This game was like opening day again."
Ken Harvey, Brent Mayne and Michael Tucker also hit solo homers for Kansas City, which had its season-opening nine-game winning streak snapped Sunday by the Indians.
Cleveland first-year manager Eric Wedge got his first ejection in the top of the eighth inning after reliever Carl Sadler was tossed for hitting Tucker with a pitch.
teams had words and were warned for throwing close to hitters.
Two pitches after Carlos Febles lined a two-run single off Sadler to put the Royals ahead 8-4, the left-hander hit Tucker in the right arm with a 1-0 pitch. Plate umpire Jerry Crawford immediately ejected Sadler. Wedge came out to argue and was tossed.
"Carl didn't have very good command," Wedge said. "The umpire's point of view I think was coming off last night. My point of view was my guy was struggling."
Sadler threw just 11 pitches three for strikes.
Pena agreed
"There's no bad blood," Sweeney said.
"We're here to play baseball, not fight," he said.
