CONCORD, N.C. - It was fight night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where Kevin Harvick advanced into the third round of the championship and two drivers had to be restrained from brawling with Brad Keselowski.Harvick won Saturday night to pick up an automatic berth into the next round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, but the title hopes for Keselowski, six-time and defending champion Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr, were severely hurt.It led to frayed nerves and explosive tempers after the race. Keselowski tangled with Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth on the track, and both Chase drivers attempted to confront the 2012 champion after the race. Hamlin was held back by crew members and only managed to throw a towel at Keselowski, but Kenseth tackled Keselowski from behind between two haulers and appeared to take a swing at the driver.Crew members quickly pulled Kenseth off of Keselowski, and Keselowski crew chief Paul Wolffe appeared to have Kenseth in a choke-hold as he pulled him out of the melee.When you see Matt Kenseth mad enough to fight, you know that this is intense because thats way out of character for him, Harvick said. Every moment matters in this Chase, and Matt Kenseth knew that that one particular moment could have been the end of his Chase.Nobody agreed on who was to blame.It was really the safety. He was doing something with Hamlin, I had my seatbelt off, my (head-and-neck restraint) off and he clobbers me, Kenseth said. The race is over, come back to pit road. If you want to talk about it like a man, go do that. But if you want to wreck somebody on the racetrack with people standing around, thats just inexcusable.Theres no excuse for that. Thats a champion and hes supposed to know better than that.Hamlin also said Keselowski behaved badly and called him desperate, obviously to save his title hopes.Hes just out of control, Hamlin said. Matt was nearly out of his car and he just plowed into Matt and then ran into Tony (Stewart) and then went in through the garage and cleared out transmissions and did burnouts in the garage.Keselowski cooled off in his Team Penske hauler before addressing the events. He said Kenseth swung at my car during the final caution to cause damage that ruined his race. He also said Hamlin stopped in front of me and tried to pick a fight.I figured if were going to play car wars under yellow and after the race, Ill join, too, Keselowski said. Those guys can dish it out, but they cant take it. I gave it back to them and now they want to fight.NASCAR met with Keselowski after the race and is reviewing audio and video of all the incidents.It capped a terrible night for three of NASCARs biggest stars: Keselowski, six-time and defending champion Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. all go into next Sundays elimination race at Talladega needing a victory.Keselowski finished 16th, Johnson was 17th and Earnhardt was 20th — last in the 12-driver Chase field that will cut to eight next week. Earnhardt broke his shifter early in the race and it put him in a deep hole he couldnt climb from.The vibration broke the shifter in half, Earnhardt said. The car wasnt handling well and the vibration was giving us problems.Kenseths rough night began before he even made it to the green flag when he was penalized for an unapproved change to his car. Then came the issues with Keselowski and he finished 19th.Keselowski, the 2012 champion and most dominant driver of the first round of the Chase, also had a post-race issue with Stewart. He seemed to run into the back of Stewart after his issues with Hamlin and Kenseth, and Stewart backed his car up to crumple the front of Keselowskis Ford.Watching the replay in the media centre after the race, second-place finisher Jeff Gordon was clearly entertained. He put his arms in the air and yelled Kenseth! and thought Stewarts move was awesome!Obviously, theres some built up animosity towards Brad — I better hold the rest of my thoughts, Gordon said.Keselowski said he understood Stewarts frustration.I rubbed into (Kenseth) and I think he gassed up and ran into Tony, and I dont think Tony knew what was going on so hes probably upset and he has every right to be, Keselowski said. Im sure when he sees the whole situation hell understand.Harvick, meanwhile, was celebrating in Victory Lane after leading a 162 laps but needing a two-lap sprint to the finish to win his third race of the year,This is the night that we needed to win. I didnt want to go to Talladega next week, he said.

Duncan told teammate Tony Parker he was "very convincing" when lobbying San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich to keep him in the lineup, even if it was the Spurs fourth game in five nights and they were facing the team with the worst record in the Western Conference. Popovich usually rests his 37-year-old forward during stretches like this, but Duncan rewarded the club with another double-double. He had 22 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Spurs to their fourth straight victory Saturday night, 100-84 over the Utah Jazz. Sparked by his 23-point, 21-rebound performance against Atlanta on Dec. 2, Duncan has returned to vintage form after a slow start to the season. He is averaging 17 points and 13 rebounds over his last six games. "The first 20 games, its not really that hard to do much better," Duncan said. "Im still not shooting the ball well, but Im trying to play hard and find ways to contribute." Kawhi Leonard added 13 points to help the Spurs (19-4) coast comfortably past the Jazz (6-20) after a big first-half run. "We were never worried about Timmy. Ive been saying (it) since the beginning of the season," said Parker, who had 15 points. "Hes the last guy we ever need to worry about. But now hes getting aggressive and hes getting his shot back." From the beginning, the Jazz pressured Parker and dared Duncan to shoot open elbow jumpers. Duncan missed his first three outside shots. "He executed well, the shots just didnt go down. But he kept playing like he always does, so it was great," Popovich said. Trey Burke had 20 points and Gordon Hayward scored 18 for the Jazz, who shot 39 per cent from the field. The Jazz were coming off consecutive road wins, including a 103-93 victory Friday night in Denver. They had reached 100 points in three of the last four games but were no match for San Antonios smothering defence. "We didnt play with the pep we have had the last few games because of the back-to-back. But I thought the effort was there, just didnt have the same spark," coach Tyrone Corbin said. On the other end, the Spurs set a series of picks to allow penetration and then passes for open 3-pointers. If that failed, they went to their famously fundamental post player on the block. In just 28 minutes, Duncan showed much of his repertoire with bank shots, fallaways, hooks and tip-ins. "In the post, hes aggressive and making strong moves," said Parker, who was creative in getting Duncan the ball where he could gain confidence. San Antonio played its fourth consecuttive game without the defensive influence of starting centre Tiago Splitter, who has a strained calf.dddddddddddd The Spurs, per 100 possessions, score 14 more points than they give up when Splitter is on the floor. But they hardly missed him against the Jazz in the first of a four-game road trip for the Spurs, who are 10-2 away from home. "They are a veteran club. They know what to do, when to do it and how to do it. They showed us," Corbin said. On Nov. 15 in Utah, the Spurs needed a fourth-quarter rally to wipe away a seven-point deficit and win 91-82. Parker scored 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter of that one. After a dreadful start when Burke was out with a broken finger, the Jazz recovered enough to split their last 10 games. The rookie point guard was hot early and gave Parker a taste of his own medicine on a series of floaters and step-back jumpers in the first half. More than 6 minutes into the game, the Spurs had only six points. But over the remainder of the first half, they used an especially efficient offence to build a 55-40 lead at the break. The reserves, led by Marco Belinelli and Patty Mills, sparked a 21-6 run to help San Antonio gain control. "Our job is to come off the bench and bring that extra gear to turn it up a bit, intensity-wise. It starts on defence and if we can capitalize, it translates to good offence," Mills said. Belinelli and Manu Ginobili each had 11 points off the San Antonio bench, which contributed 47 points. The Spurs outrebounded the Jazz 55-42 and outscored Utah 50-36 in the paint. "They hit the glass really hard and they have a lot of big bodies, so we knew that was going to be a big part of us winning this game. But we had good focus from everybody and when the balls were there to be had, we just went and got them," Duncan said. Richard Jefferson made a 3-pointer to draw the Jazz within double digits for the only time in the second half at 61-52, but Duncan scored twice around a 3-pointer by Leonard and the Spurs were back in control. "It was a very good win against a young team that is starting to play better. We respect them and did a good job of playing horn to horn," Duncan said. NOTES: Utah C Rudy Gobert and G Ian Clark were assigned to the clubs D-League affiliate in Bakersfield. Both earned playing time earlier this season when the Jazz were dealing with multiple injuries. ... Belinelli made all three of his 3-point attempts to improve his NBA-leading mark to 56.5 per cent. ... Jeremy Evans matched his career high with 11 rebounds for Utah. . Oddly, the Jazz had a season-high 11 blocks to one for the Spurs.
