07/23/2010 - Carson, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Landon Donovan scored in the 90th minute and the Los Angeles Galaxy remained unbeaten at home in Major League Soccer with a 2-2 draw Thursday night against the San Jose Earthquakes at The Home Depot Center.
Edson Buddle scored his 12th goal of the year, also in the second half, as the Galaxy (12-2-4) erased two deficits to extend their season-long home unbeaten streak to eight games.
Bobby Convey scored his first goal of the year just two minutes into the match and cleared a Buddle shot off the line and Brandon McDonald added his first of the year as San Jose (6-4-5) earned its sixth result in eight road matches.
San Jose got off to a dream start when Convey fired home a rebound inside two minutes. Cornell Glen had the initial chance deflected by L.A. goalie Donovan Ricketts, but Convey ran onto the loose ball on the left side of the area and slotted the rebound home.
Convey, who is second in MLS with eight assists, was added to the MLS All-Star roster earlier Thursday by L.A. coach Bruce Arena.
Buddle had three chances before half to level, but fired wide left in the 23rd and wide right in the 41st before heading high in first-half stoppage time.
L.A. trailed at halftime for the first time in 17 games this season, but coach Bruce Arena sparked the club at halftime and Buddle equalized 14 minutes into the second half.
Dema Kovalenko had a shot pushed over the crossbar by San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch in the 48th and Buddle followed with a header that was cleared off the line by Convey in the 49th before L.A. finally equalized.
Donovan helped set up the goal for his MLS-high 11th assist by dropping a pass off to the left to Todd Dunivant, who made an overlapping run. Dunivant rolled a low cross through the six-yard box to Buddle, who had an easy finish into an empty net at the right post in the 59th.
Juninho had his free kick pushed over the bar by Busch in the 70th, as L.A.'s second-half momentum slowed after the tying goal.
San Jose capitalized in the final 20 minutes when McDonald fired home a loose ball from inside the six-yard box. Convey played a corner kick from the right and, after Ike Opara's initial shot was deflected by Ricketts, McDonald tapped in the rebound in the 72nd.
L.A. avoided its first home defeat of the season when Donovan scored from just a few inches out in the 90th. Tristan Bowen's initial shot was mishandled by Busch, who then got his hands on Buddle's rebound effort, but couldn't prevent Donovan from sending the second rebound into the back of the net.
San Jose returns to MLS action July 31 when it hosts Seattle Sounders FC. L.A. hosts the Chicago Fire on Aug. 1.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
