The Seattle Seahawks look at their small sample of shortcomings and figure things will turn around.While the Seahawks have room for error, that has just about expired for the Carolina Panthers.When the teams meet Sunday night in Seattle, it nearly qualifies as a must-win situation for Carolina, which is running out of second chances.Well just keep fighting, keep playing, Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said. Now we still have an opportunity. Well see what happens. Theres no reason for us to look any other way, but theres a glimmer of hope. Thats all you need sometimes.The Seahawks (7-3-1) are coming off a puzzling 14-5 loss at Tampa Bay. Despite the setback, theres no sign of panic from the Seattle side.Im not worried about it a bit, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said. Not one bit. Lets go back to work and get right. ... I dont think this is a trend. Well get this thing fixed.Seattle holds first place in an otherwise weak NFC West. Carolina (4-7) occupies last place in the NFC South, though that division isnt exactly a powerful group.We are just trying to win a game, Panthers tight end Greg Olsen said. We will let all that sort itself out.The Panthers remained on the West Coast following Sundays 35-32 loss at Oakland. Theyve held practices at San Jose State before heading to Seattle.Even with that, there have been significant developments. Center Ryan Kalil (shoulder) and his backup, Gino Gradkowski (knee), were placed on injured reserve. To replace them, the Panthers signed free-agent center Ryan Wendell and added tackle Dan France from the Cleveland Browns practice squad.The health of this football team is very frustrating, Rivera said.Wendell played seven seasons with the New England Patriots from 2009-15, starting 49 regular-season games and seven postseason contests.Kalil, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, started all eight games he played this season, but missed three contests with the shoulder injury.The Panthers also signed offensive tackles Tyrus Thompson and Jake Rodgers to the practice squad.Its probably a positive thing that we arent traveling back to the East Coast, said Carolinas A.J. Klein, who was the primary replacement for All-Pro linebacker Luke Kuechly last week.Klein noted the need to recharge after the last outing. While its unclear if Kuechly will be available after suffering an apparent concussion Nov. 17, the encouraging aspect was that he traveled with the Panthers to the West Coast and was on the sideline (though not in uniform) for the Oakland game.Also among those on Carolinas injury list as late as Wednesday were safety Kurt Coleman (head) and receiver Kelvin Benjamin (shoulder).The Seahawks have roster movement as well.Linebacker Mike Morgan (sports hernia) should be back after sitting out on injured reserve, while the status of Michael Bennett, who has been out five weeks with a knee injury, remains in question. The Seahawks have used four players to start in Morgans spot at strong-side linebacker during his absence.Safety Earl Thomas will apparently play after he wasnt listed on Fridays injury report.Dont expect major changes to how the Seahawks operate even following a loss.Im going to go with what we know and how we know to be, Carroll said. Well get back on track.The Seahawks are 5-0 at home, though three of Seattles home victories have come by six points or less. While the Seahawks have been far from dominant at CenturyLink Field, it will be another hostile environment for the Panthers.This is why you come into the league, to play these type of games, Carolina quarterback Cam Newton said.The nature of close defeats is wearing on the Panthers.Now its five games where youve lost virtually in the last few minutes, Rivera said. Its frustrating, but thats the nature of this game.Despite the Seahawks sluggish offense from time to time, theyre continuing to find different ways to move the ball. Quarterback Russell Wilsons running ability is something that Carroll said has been encouraging as Seattle heads into the Carolina game.Wilson has kept his normal unwavering demeanor for the most part.Its pretty simple, Wilson said, weve just got to find ways to make plays and we will. We have before.This will mark the seventh meeting during a five-season span as the teams met in the postseason each of the last two seasons.In last Januarys divisional playoff round, Carolina scored the first 31 points and held on for a 31-24 victory.

MIAMI -- Isaiah Thomas drew blood from Justise Winslow. Other than that, most of Miamis biggest problems were self-inflicted.And the Boston Celtics reaped the benefits.Thomas scored 23 points before getting ejected, Avery Bradley added 20 and the Celtics led by 22 points in the first half before hanging on to beat the Heat 105-95 on Sunday night.I thought we answered their runs well, Celtics coach Brad Stevens said.

And the Heat went 6 for 14 from the foul line in the fourth quarter, 14 for 25 in the game to further cement themselves as the NBAs worst free-throw-shooting team this season.Every time we had an opportunity, we coughed it up right as the momentum would shift, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Thats one of our most inefficient games of the year.Goran Dragic led all scorers with 31 points for Miami. Hassan Whiteside finished with 23 points and 17 rebounds, all but one of those rebounds coming in the second half.Thomas was ejected with 3:02 left for elbowing Winslow in the face, bloodying the Heat forward and being assessed with a flagrant-2 after a review.Winslow needed sutures postgame, but said he didnt think Thomas had intent. Neither did Stevens.(Referee) Tony Brothers didnt think it was a flagrant-2 but he has to go with what they say, Thomas said. Im happy we won but Im disappointed that they kicked me out. Theres no reason for that.Winslow missed both resulting free throws -- part of that season-long Miami problem -- but the Heat seemed sparked nonetheless.Inn just over a minute after Thomas ejection, the Heat had what was a 12-point deficit down to 97-93.ddddddddddddDragic connected on a 3-pointer from the right corner with 2:04 remaining and Tyler Johnson added a free throw not long afterward.But the Heat got no closer.Weve got to figure out a way to get that second-half intensity in the first half, Winslow said.TIP-INSCeltics: Bostons 22-point lead was the biggest deficit the Heat have faced at home this season. Utah led Miami by 21. The Celtics also led by 19 at Miami earlier this season. ... Former Heat guard Gerald Green (sore left hip) was sidelined. ... The Celtics turned Miamis first five turnovers into 12 points.Heat: Dragic was 5 for 6 on 3s. ... Wayne Ellington (hamstring) was out. His absence made Josh Richardson a starter, giving Miami its ninth lineup. ... Dion Waiters (groin) missed his 12th consecutive game. ... Whitesides third block gave him 457 with Miami, passing Joel Anthony for No. 4 in team history.ROAD WARRIORSLater this week, Boston will wrap up a stretch where 18 of its first 29 games came on the road. No team in the NBA has played fewer home games than the Celtics so far; Sacramento has also played 11, and San Antonio played its 12th on Sunday. Its part of it. Youve got to play 41 road games.
