Josh Smith led the balanced attack for Houston with 18 points, while a total of six players scored in double figures for the Rockets in the game.

Ellis again carried the scoring load for the Mavericks, but Chandler Parsons also produced with 25 points while shooting 5-of-8 from beyond the arc.

Dallas finally secured their first win when they played at home behind eight players scoring double figures.

Al-Farouq Aminu and Devin Harris both scored 17 points for the Mavericks, while Rajon Rondo, Chandler Parsons and Charlie Villanueva helped with 13. Ellis and Nowitzki had 12 each as the Mavs shot 47 percent from the field, while holding the Rockets to 41 percent.

In the losing effort, Harden had 26 points but lacked help from his other teammates.

LG G Flex 2 Durability Test, Review: Flexible Phone Undergoes Brutal Durability Test

The G Flex 2 is LG’s first attempt at Snapdragon 810, and from the warm reception it received, the device is definitely among the best Android handsets today.

Christian Post Report – The device has just recently been released in the U.K. and the U.S., while more markets should get it soon.

But just in case you are wondering whether the curved display, flexible body, and the self-healing back cover are worth it or not, the guys at Tech Assassin made several torture test clips on the G Flex 2.

In the first video, Richard Ryan of Tech Assassin dropped the LG G Flex 2 about four feet from the ground. It suffered some scratches, but the back cover material easily hid the scratches.

Afterwards, Ryan dropped the LG handset in a bowl full of water. In both the dunk and drop tests, the G Flex remained in its working condition.

However, Ryan increased the difficulty by several notches, and the next thing the viewers see is the G Flex 2 placed on someone’s driveway, getting rolled over by a pickup truck.

After the three tests, the LG G Flex 2 was still operational.

Unfortunately, there were no chances that the LG device would survive the final test where the device is being shot at by a 50-caliber rifle.

The G Flex 2 boasts a smaller 5.5-inch display, compared to last year’s original G Flex that had six inches of screen real estate.

Fortunately, a new report provides a glimpse of the phone’s build and quality.

According to a report by GSM Arena, the Android-powered smartphone underwent a harsh drop test.

In a video uploaded by Korean website Youku, the Galaxy S6 Edge was seen being normally used by a woman.

Then, the woman smashed the device on the floor. And as if once was not enough, the woman did it two more times.

Surprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge held its own and did not show any scratches. The new Corning Gorilla Glass is definitely an asset to Samsung’s business.

The Galaxy S6 Edge packs a 5.1-inch display with QHD or 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution, 3GB of RAM, and a Samsung-made Exynos chipset.

Together with the Galaxy S6, the S6 Edge went on pre-orders in the US, and some parts of the EU last week.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Release Date, Specs Rumors: What Features Can We Expect?

Samsung is expected to be bringing in strengthened specs later in the year when it debuts the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 with higher quality features compared to its predecessor.

Christian Post Report – Rumors have escalated Samsung may release its next generation phablet in late 2015 with its Samsung Galaxy Note 5, expected to feature as many specifications as the Japanese electronics conglomerate can include.

Samsung may be upping the ante on super AMOLED technology from the Galaxy Note 4 and prepping the Galaxy Note 5 with 4K resolution. The 4K display technology, rumored to also be included in the Galaxy S7 smartphone handset when it launches in 2016, is set to go mainstream for a majority of devices within the year. This means, users are likely to see the Galaxy Note 5 sporting 4K resolution in a 5.9 inch phablet.

One of the improvements Samsung is likely to visit on their upcoming flagship device will be a suitable battery to go with its more advanced resolution. With a 4K screen eating up more battery life, users may expect a more powerful 4,000 mAh cell to increase the Galaxy Note 5’s power by as much as 20 percent.

According to the team working on projects involving PC Oculus Rift VR, the Galaxy Note 5 will feature Virtual Reality functionality to make it a perfect companion for the VR headset, and with Samsung having earlier unveiled wireless charging capabilities for its Galaxy S6, users should expect the Galaxy Note 5 phablet to sport this capability, as well.

Gadget analysts are suggesting the Galaxy Note 5 may have Samsung’s first ever 20MP rear facing camera, and a 5MP front shooter. With Samsung’s rival Apple heavily promoting its Apple Watch’s Force Touch technology, Samsung may be beefing up its devices’ TouchID function, and adding a higher end retinal scanning security capability into the bargain.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is expected to be available in stores by the fourth quarter of 2015, and while no price point information has been leaked so far, speculations run on a non-contract retail price of between $900 to $1,000 when the Galaxy Note 5 hits the market.

Detroit Tigers MLB 2015 News, Rumors: This Could Be the Detroit Tigers Everyday Lineup

Now the Detroit Tigers have made their roster decision in terms of position players Brad Ausmus has to come up with a daily lineup that can compete not only with the team in the American League Central but all of baseball. The Tigers roster has some holes, there is not a true lead off man, and the 7-9 hitters have been notoriously weak in past seasons. However, this off season has been more about the Tigers finding balance than having one part of their roster be completely dominant.

Christian Post Report – This is the lineup the Tigers used over the weekend:

1. CF Anthony Gose (L)
2. 2B Ian Kinsler (R)
3. 1B Miguel Cabrera (R)
4. DH Victor Martinez (S)
5. RF JD Martinez (R)
6. LF Yoenis Cespedes (R)
7. C Alex Avila (L)
8. 3B Nick Castellanos (R)
9. SS Jose Iglesias (R)

Miguel Cabrera reuters.com

Miguel Cabrera returns as the center piece of the Detroit Tigers lineup

Gose has impressive in Spring Training with his ability to get on base. Once he does so he has the speed and base running skills to be a real threat. Kinsler batted second most of the time in 2014 and is very good in that spot. The power of 3-6 should scare any pitcher because one mistake could lead to a big inning.

Avila needs to continue to get on base while Castellanos works on his power. The only real hole is Iglesias but he is on this team for what he can do in the field not what he does at the plate. When the Tigers face a left handed started expect Rajai Davis to play center and hit leadoff, and James McCann to play catcher and hit 8th bumping Castellon up to 7th.

Expect to see Davis not only sharing time in Center but spelling the other outfielder in the corners. He is simply too valuable to only face left handed pitching.
