MADRID, Spain -- Cristiano Ronaldo scored a late equalizer as Real Madrid avoided a bruising derby defeat at Spanish title rival Atletico Madrid with a 2-2 draw on Sunday. Sebastian Janikowski Seahawks Jersey . Ronaldo pounced on a loose ball inside the area to net the 82nd-minute equalizer -- his 23rd goal of the season for the league leaders. Karim Benzema put Madrid ahead at the Vicente Calderon Stadium after three minutes but, instead of wilting, Atletico hit back with two goals to take the lead by halftime. Koke smashed a low shot beyond Madrid goalkeeper Diego Lopez, who then watched Gabi Fernandezs swerving effort from 30 metres (yards) fly past him just before the break. Madrid stayed three points ahead of Atletico, but Barcelona was able to cut its deficit to Madrid to one point after a laboured 4-1 win against Almeria at the Camp Nou. Barcelona led 2-0 by the 24th after Alexis Sanchez tapped a rebound into the empty goal before Lionel Messi curled an exquisite left-foot free kick around the defensive wall and into the top of the goal for his 15th league strike of the season. A rout looked in the cards until Angel Trujillo got free to head home a corner in the 27th, and the relegation-threatened club made Barcelona work for its points. Carles Puyol, who had made a rare start, scored an even rarer goal after Messis header came off the bar straight to him in the 83rd minute. Xavi Hernandez scored moments later as the Catalans bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Real Sociedad last weekend. Madrid leads with 64 points, Barcelona has 63, and Atletico is on 61 points. The fifth meeting between crosstown rivals Atletico and Madrid since last Mays Copa del Rey final kept its trademark liveliness and aggression, with Atletico knowing defeat would likely end its dreams of a first title since 1996. "Atletico tried to make the game violent," Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said. "We dont play that way, however. But they tried right to the end." Atleticos defence played Benzema onside for the France striker to score his 15th of the season, leaving him alone to guide Angel Di Marias cross into the box past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Ugly confrontations followed as both teams used gamesmanship to try and gain an edge, with Arda Turan booked for protesting in the 11th after Sergio Ramos tripped Diego Costa inside the area with no penalty awarded. But Atleticos pressure paid off in the 28th when Turan spotted Koke inside the area to smash past Lopez. Diego Costa, who will play at the Calderon for Spain on Wednesday, was a physical presence and troubled Madrid throughout. Atletico took the lead in first-half stoppage time when Gabis powerful drive beat the slow-footed Lopez for a deserved lead. In the second half, Lopez kept it close as Atletico found space on the counter with Madrid pressing for an equalizer. Despite being outplayed, Madrids attack finally connected when Gareth Bale failed to control a cross but the ball fell to Ronaldo to extend Madrids unbeaten run in all competitions to 28 games. "Atletico played a bruising style right to the end, when we finally got a chance to play and create opportunities," Ancelotti said. Madrid is unbeaten at the Calderon for 15 games, dating to June 1999. "The result is what it is," Atletico coach Diego Simeone said. "We had chances to win it. At least we showed we are still alive in the title race." Ruben Castros late goal gave bottom side Real Betis a 1-1 draw at 10-man Villarreal, which slipped six points from fourth and the final Champions League spot. Betis was left 11 points from safety. Real Sociedad fell seven points behind fourth-place Athletic Bilbao after Kevin Gameiro skipped through a pair of defenders and netted the rebound from his initial shot to lead Sevilla to a 1-0 victory. Joaquin Larrivey scored as Rayo Vallecano climbed within three points of 17th-place Almeria -- and safety from the drop -- with a 1-0 win over Valencia, which played the last 15 minutes with 10 men.Michael Dickson Seahawks Jersey . Still, Inter moved one point ahead of Parma in the race for fifth place and the final Europa League spot. Udinese remained 14th, 11 points above the relegation zone. Inter was beaten 2-1 by Atalanta at home on Sunday and has won only seven of 16 matches at the San Siro this season, as the squad seems to still be searching for its identity under new owner Erick Thohir and first-year manager Walter Mazzarri. Jaron Brown Jersey . Called on from the college ranks to replace Andy Reid, Kelly implemented a whole new atmosphere in the City of Brotherly Love and now has the Eagles in the playoffs for the first time since 2010.Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - Jared Sullinger scored 17 points with six rebounds and five assists to lead the Boston Celtics to a 101-98 win over the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Jeff Green scored 15 points for Boston, while Kelly Olynyk and Avery Bradley netted 12 and 11 points, respectively. Roy Hibbert finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers, who have lost five straight since an opening-night win over winless Philadelphia. Chris Copeland tallied 17 points and Donald Sloan added 15 in the setback. Boston, which snapped a three-game losing streak, won the game but lost rookie point guard Marcus Smart to an ankle injury. Smart drove the lane early in the fourth and was fouled by A.J. Price as the two got tangled up. Smart rolled his ankle on Lavoy Allens shoe before getting fouled, and immediately grabbed at his lower left leg in pain. After more than five minutes with Bostons medical team on the court, Smart was stabilized on a stretcher and wheeled into the locker room. The sixth overall pick finished with three points on 1-of-6 shooting in 15 1/2 minutes of action. According to initial reports, X-rays were negative, but Smart will still undergo an MRI. Were going to go take him in for a further look, Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. Its either a sprained ankle or broken. We hope its a sprain. Phil Pressey came on moments after Smart exited the contest and gave the Celtics a lift, scoring five points with four assists. Presseys 3-pointer capped a 9-2 run for an 82-77 Celtics lead just over two minutes into the fourth. Later in the quarter, Braandon Bass received a behind-the-back pass from Pressey and hit a corner jumper before Sullinger knocked down a 3-pointer for a 97-90 lead with 3 1/2 to play. Barkevious Mingo Jersey. . Indiana chipped away at the lead over the next couple of minutes, as Boston went cold. Hibberts free throws cut the deficit to 97-96 with 58.3 seconds remaining. Our guys were battling the whole night, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. It was a back-and-forth game. Sloans driving layup was off the mark on the Pacers next possession, and Green nailed a pair of free throws after a huge offensive rebound with 6.1 seconds left. Sloan and Bradley traded two free throws to keep it a three-point game. Out of a timeout, Stevens had a zone defense set up and Gerald Wallace picked off the inbounds pass as Boston held on. I thought we were great defensively at the end, Stevens said. Olynyk made back-to-back 3-pointers from the top of the arc before Green converted a hook shot for a 21-14 edge at the midway point of the first. The Celtics led by 13 after a 9-2 run late in the second quarter, but they didnt score over the final 2:50 and Indiana closed the half on a 10-0 run, trailing 55-52 at half. Indiana then took the lead out of the break, scoring the first seven points of the third for a 59-55 after Solomon Hills ferocious driving dunk. The Pacers led 75-73 entering the fourth.
