CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- After losing out on Gordon Hayward, the Charlotte Hornets landed one of his former teammates with the Utah Jazz. The Hornets agreed to a $14 million, two-year contract with free-agent forward Marvin Williams, according to a person familiar with the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on Saturday on condition of anonymity because the deal has not yet been made public. The person says it will be signed next week. The 6-foot-9, 237-pound Williams has played nine seasons in the NBA with the Jazz and Atlanta Hawks. He averaged 9.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in 66 games for Utah last season, including 50 starts. The 28-year-old Williams is averaging 10.8 points and 5.1 rebounds for 626 career games. The deal for Williams comes on the same day the Jazz announced they decided to match Charlottes $63 million, four-year offer sheet to Hayward, a restricted free agent. Hayward posted to Twitter: "Officially back with the (at)utahjazz!!!! Wanna thank them and all of .jazznation for believing in me! Lots of work ahead..." The Hornets view Williams as a potential replacement for power forward Josh McRoberts, who previously agreed to a contract with Miami. Williams is also versatile enough to play small forward. McRoberts departure left the Hornets extremely thin at power forward and in need of some veteran help. Charlottes only two power forwards on the roster were Cody Zeller, who is entering his second season, and Noah Vonleh, the ninth overall pick in this years draft. Coach Steve Clifford said Friday the loss of McRoberts was a "big hit" for Charlotte, calling him a valuable "connector" for the team. "Not many guys of his size make the game easy for his teammates the way he does" Clifford said. "Not just offensively, but defensively, too. But Ive said to his (now former) teammates thats what this league is about. We have other good players and were still in the process of adding other players to our roster. "What it will mean is, particularly on offensive part of the floor, well have to do things in a different way. No question he was a big part of what we did. Doesnt mean we have to take a step back, but we have to change." Williams addition should be popular among area Tar Heel fans. Williams played college basketball at North Carolina, the same school as Hornets owner Michael Jordan, and helped the Tar Heels to a national championship as a freshman in 2005. He was the second overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft. Also Saturday, the Hornets announced they had acquired guard Scotty Hopson and cash considerations from the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for centre Brendan Haywood, finalizing a draft-night deal. The Cavaliers received the draft rights to forward Dwight Powell, the 45th overall pick. The 6-foot-7 Hopson missed the entire 2013-14 season due to a stress fracture in his left foot.

Montreal (3-10-5) lost its third straight and Impact coach Frank Klopas said it literally was a case of his players not stepping up.ST. LOUIS - In the lead-up to their rematch against the San Francisco 49ers, the St. Louis Rams were scrambling to find enough healthy players.Disorganized? Well, not quite.A disruptive defence theyd been waiting for all season led the way in an unexpected 13-10 victory at San Francisco on Sunday.The Rams (3-5) had eight sacks, plus came up with the big goal-line stand at the finish that made up for an offence that mustered just 193 yards.Rookie Aaron Donald and fellow tackle Kendall Langford led the push that led to Colin Kaepernicks lost fumble on a quarterback sneak at the goal line in the final seconds.Its great to find a way to win, but its also great to know we didnt play our perfect game, guard Rodger Saffold said. Our defence played a hell of a game. At the end, we found a way to win. That was awesome.The bottom line is theyve got momentum for Sundays game at NFC West-leading Arizona, and coach Jeff Fisher is optimistic cornerback Janoris Jenkins will be back after missing two games with a knee injury.Robert Quinn had two sacks for St. Louis, which totalled six sacks in the first seven games. The pressure led to the 49ers converting just three of 12 on third down.We were just getting after it, Donald said. We were rushing the passer like we know how.Expectations were low given Fisher and general manager Les Snead made 18 personnel moves over a 48-hour period in the middle of the week.It was a bounce-back effort all week long, Fisher said. Things didnt look good early in the week. We got em back.Earlier in the season, the 49ers erased an early two-touchdown deficit and won by two touchdowns in St. Louis. The Rams had 13 players on the injury list all week, many of them starters.Well, Wednesday we couldnt even practice. We had to kind oof have a walkthrough day and try to get guys healthy, quarterback Austin Davis said.ddddddddddddt wasnt a pretty win, but its a great win.The Rams shut out the 49ers in the second half, reversing a troubling trend. They were blanked 24-0 after the break last week at Kansas City and have been particularly weak in the third quarter, getting outscored 69-13.Though St. Louis made little happen offensively, the 49ers were stopped, too.Before gaining 59 yards on the final drive, San Francisco had mustered four first downs in four second-half possessions.Im sure that every D-lineman expects to get multiple sacks game in and game out, Quinn said. But of course, they dont come that easy.Guys were working their butts off and sold out for the team.Until the finish when he was whistled for penalties on consecutive snaps near the goal, Trumaine Johnson had a strong season debut coming off a preseason knee injury. Johnsons return helped compensate for Jenkins absence, and for Marcus Robersons struggles.Running back Zac Stacy again was the odd man out in a crowded backfield, and was the lone St. Louis player who didnt play. Stacy just missed 1,000 yards rushing his rookie season, but has fallen behind rookie Tre Mason and Benny Cunningham.Zac has handled this professionally, Fisher said. He will get to play, he will get his reps. Its hard to spread the ball around.Mason, a third-round pick, made his first career start and had 19 of the 27 carries, totalling 65 yards with a 3.4-yard average.Fisher didnt exactly anoint Mason as the starter this week at NFC West-leading Arizona.You guys come out to Arizona, watch the first play and figure out whos going to start, the coach said.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
