The Sacramento Kings (17-51) pulled off an upset Saturday night beating the Los Angeles Clippers (34-33) 118-109. They have been playing some greatly improved basketball despite the multitude of injuries they are facing right now. Again DeMar DeRozan had the high for the Kings with 27 points and Precious Achiuwa chipped in a double double 25 points and 13 rebounds. Maxime Raynaud finished with 23 points.

Game recap: The opening quarter was a close one with the Kings taking a slim 33-31 lead after the first 12 minutes of play. Sacramento really began to pour it on the second quarter and after two quarters they had outscored Los Angeles 35-23 and were leading at the half 68-54.

After the first two quarters, Precious Achiuwa had scored 18 points and DeMar DeRozan and Maxime Raynaud both had double figures. The Kings would be looking to keep the pressure on after an impressive first half of basketball.

Kawhi Leonard was the only Clipper in double digits with 17 points. While the first quarter was a close one the Kings were doing a great job containing the Clippers in the second quarter pushing their lead to fourteen points.

The Clippers were really struggling scoring from the field. Both teams were not great from the line, the Kings shooting 64% and the Clippers at 69%. The Kings did have ten turnovers in the half conceding nine points.

The largest lead in the game for Sacramento was 14 points. Extending their lead in the second half and playing spoiler would definitely be in their sites with the Clippers clinging to eighth place in the Western Conference. The Golden State Warriors are chasing them and a loss Saturday night would give Los Angeles a one game lead over the Warriors.

The Kings got a bit sloppy in the third quarter with three turnovers early in the the quarter. They began missing shots and fouling letting their 14-point lead dwindle down to nine points mid-way through the quarter.

At 7:45 the Kings had taken a timeout to get this game back on track. With five minutes left in the third quarter they had pushed their lead back out to double digits 82-69. As the quarter began to wind down the Kings had taken a 20 point lead 90-70 their largest of the game. Going into the fourth quarter the Kings had a 92-75 lead.

The Clippers continued to try and cut the Kings lead but Sacramento continued to hang onto a sizeable double digit lead although Los Angeles had cut the 20 point King lead to fourteen. With nine minutes left in the game this contest was hardly over and numerous fouls were really hurting Sacramento as the Clippers got within 12 points 97-85.

As in the third quarter, the Kings had a sloppy start to the fourth letting the Clippers back in this game. With 6:57 left on the clock the Kings again took a timeout with the Clippers again pulling to within nine points.

Sacramento was unable to pull away after that timeout this time allowing the Clippers to get within three points 103-100 with four minutes left in the game, This would be a fight to the end as the Kings battled for the rest of the game.

Los Angeles took a time out looking to take the lead they had not seen since the first quarter. With 2 1/2 minutes left in the game Sacramento fought back to a 112-102 lead. The Clippers rallied to within six points with 1:25 left on the clock taking a time out looking to somehow win this game.

A Los Angeles challenge favored the Kings who pushed their lead out to 114-106 when DeRozan hit free throws. With under a minutes left in the game and Sacramento leading 118-106 the Kings had pulled off the upset.

The Kings fought in this game to the very end . When the Clippers very nearly took the lead in the fourth quarter Sacramento held on to push their lead back out and upset the Clippers.

Rozan had the team high with 27 points, Achiuwa had a double double with 25 points and 13 rebounds. Raynaud finished with 23 points and Russell Westbrook also had a triple double with 12 points, 12 rebounds and ten assists. Daeqwon Plowden had an amazing game off the bench finishing with 15 points and five rebounds. Every starter tonight scored double figures in an all-around team effort.

Game notes: Saturday night the Kings who traveled down to Los Angeles for a matchup with the Clippers the Kings won it in a shocker beating the Clippers at Intuit Arena this was the Kings third win in four games. The Kings came off a loss to the Charlotte Hornets 117-109 last Wednesday night.

Despite the loss Wednesday the Kings DeMar DeRozan had a banner night scoring 39 points the high in the game. Nique Clifford had a solid game scoring 18 points. Precious Achiuwa has been really stepping up and in that game he scored 14 points and just as importantly with eight rebounds which was the high for Sacramento.

Despite all the injuries the Kings suffered this season there have a handful of players who have picked up the slack and continue to improve with each game. They have lent a lot of hope for the Kings for next season. Saturday night the Kings faced a Clippers team containing Kawhi Leonard, no easy task. Alongside Leonard, Darius Garland who has been solid on and off the bench Bennedict Mathurin is also a threat.

Sacramento was without Malik Monk Saturday night’s lineup. He is suffering a right ankle injury that he suffered in their game with the Pacers, missing his second consecutive game. Devin Carter also missed Saturday night’s game.

Sacramento now heads back home to Golden 1 for a matchup with the Utah Jazz. They are slightly favored as they go into another winnable game. Tipoff for this game is scheduled for 7:00 PM Sunday night.

Utah Mammoth game wrap: No Crosby, No Malkin, No Problem For Penguins In 4-3 Comeback Win Over Mammoth

By Tom Walker

SALT LAKE CITY–Utah got off to a hot start on two first period goals by Dylan Guenther, but fell victim to undisciplined play as Pittsburgh fought back to deliver a fourth straight loss to the Mammoth 4-3.

The Utah Mammoth (34-26-6) closed out its brief two-game homestand on Saturday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins (32-18-15). Absent from the Penguins lineup were future Hockey Hall of Fame forwards Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, and it was noticeable on the ice as the game unfolded, or so it seemed in the beginning.

Dylan Guenther single-handedly accounted for all scoring in the opening frame. At 5:06 of the first, Guenther stole the puck from Penguins forward Blake Lizotte at the blue line and shot the puck under the outstretched pads of Pittsburgh goalie Stuart Skinner for his team-leading 32nd goal of the season, unassisted.

91 seconds later, with Anthony Mantha in the penalty box for cross-checking against Mikhail Sergachev, Mammoth forward Barrett Hayton put the puck off the goal post behind Skinner, and as the puck trickled along the goal line Penguins defenseman Connor Clifton knocked it away but directly into the skate blades of Guenther who was crashing the net.

Both the puck and Guenther crossed the goal line as the net came off of its moorings. The call on the ice was no-goal, but upon video replay it was determined that the puck had first crossed the goal line followed by Guenther.

Pittsburgh did not challenge whether the puck was kicked into the net, resulting in Guenther’s 33rd goal of the season, again unassisted, and the second-fastest two goals in franchise history. Earlier this season he established the fastest franchise two-goal mark in 78 seconds against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

According to NHL States, he is just the second NHL player to record two unassisted goals in under two minutes since the 2018-2019 season. With the ice sheet seemingly tilted in the direction of the Penguins goal throughout the period, Utah took a 2-0 lead into the locker room. Karel Vejmelka turned away all 7 shots by Pittsburgh, while Skinner turned away 12 of 14.

The Mammoth were sailing through the first half of the game when they ran into penalty trouble beginning at 13:39 of the second period when Lawson Crouse went to the sin bin for high sticking against Parker Wotherspoon.

A half minute later, Alexander Kerfoot joined him when he was whistled for interference against Rickard Rakell, giving the Penguins a lengthy 5-on-3 power play. Pittsburgh didn’t squander the opportunity as Anthony Mantha scored his 25th goal of the season, assisted by Erik Karlsson and Egor Chinakhov. Up to that point the game had seemed rather one-sided but with 2:34 remaining in the frame, Thomas Novak tied things up with his 15th goal of the season, assisted by Wotherspoon and Mantha. Utah managed only four futile shots on goal in the period while Vejmelka stopped 4 of 6 by the Penguins.

Utah began the third period on the penalty kill due to a late second period hooking penalty by Ian Cole against Bryan Rust. At 1:24, Rust converted the power play for his 24th goal of the season, assisted by Rakell and Chinakhov to take their first lead of the game 3-2.

Not quite three minutes later, Mammoth defenseman Ian Cole tied things up again 3-3 with his 3rd goal of the season, assisted by Alexander Kerfoot and Kevin Stenlund. Just past the 8-minute mark of the frame, the Penguins regained the lead on forward Noel Acciari’s 8th goal of the season, assisted by Wotherspoon and Karlsson, which ended up being the difference in the game.

“I think we’ve been trying to make a concerned effort to stick with the game plan, even though there were stretches of that game where we did a really good job sticking to it, and there were stretches where we kind of deviated and we got away from it,’ said defenseman Ian Cole in the locker room following the loss. “They ended up cutting out plays and transitioned back on us and, you know, call it ‘unforced errors, so yeah, we’re going to have to do some soul-searching and figure out how we want to win.”

Dylan Guenther opined, “I think you learn from stuff like this, but as much as you want to break everything down, you can’t beat yourself up for too long–there’s 15 games left, so make sure we learn from it, but it doesn’t bleed into our other games. … Learning’s important. But you don’t want it to bleed, you don’t want to get too emotional, if we get down 2-0 in the next game, you don’t want that to kind of snowball, I think it’s just the next shift. And being aware of the things that we have to fix, but making sure that it’s a clean slate going into every game.”

Head Coach André Tourigny began his post-game remarks saying, “(It’s) disappointing. The first angle is that we had full control of that game, and instead of playing a mature, simple – get above them, put pucks deep and stuff like that – we forced the play with the puck and tried to do way too much. We took penalties in the (offensive) zone – most of them, except one – five in a row in the second. We gave them hope (with) bad line changes and stuff like that. So it’s not like we played (badly). Even if you play well but you (make) the wrong decisions and you don’t manage the game the right way, it’s a song we (sang) two months ago, before the break. The guys fixed it, we had success, but now we have to do it all over again. The lack of maturity today in our game and our management cost us the game. We were in full control, we had no reason.”

In his sober analysis of his team’s performance, Bear conceded, “It would have been unfair to win today, the way we managed the game. And I believe we generated way more offense than them – at five-on-five, we were the better team. It doesn’t matter, if you don’t manage the game the right way. It’s too good of a league. It’s not a league where you can gamble, and we gambled and we lost the game. … We had a great start, scored a big goal on the track on a strip, scored on the power play. We’re playing well, putting pucks at the net, we have traffic, we have opportunities – we’re in control. That has to be enough, and it wasn’t.”

The Mammoth (34-27-6) play a pair of games on the road next week in Dallas and Las Vegas before returning Friday for a four-game homestand beginning with the Anaheim Ducks.

Bay FC match report: Bay gets the edge on Denver Summitt FC 2-1

SAN JOSE–Bay FC kicked off their 2026 season on Saturday afternoon with their home opener against expansion side Denver Summit FC with a 2-1 win at Pay Pal Park.

Bay FC controlled possession for the majority of the opening minutes, forcing turnovers in midfield and generating chances. With that being said, errant passes did cost them quite a few of those chances, but that’s expected with an abundance of new players in the lineup.

In the eighth minute, recently acquired Alex Pfeiffer scored Bay FC’s first goal of the season, and her first with her new club, to give Bay an early 1-0 lead. After the goal, Denver came out with a bit more offensive pressure, but Bay FC’s defense held strong.

Karlie Lema nearly doubled Bay’s lead in the 15th minute when she got past the goalkeeper, but it was too tight of an angle, and her shot went into the side netting. The Summit tied it up in the 20th minute with the first goal in franchise history, scored by Melissa Kossler.

Denver’s captain, Janine Sonis, was shown the first yellow card in club history after a dangerous challenge on Pfeiffer in the 26th minute. Moments later, though, the video assistant referee conducted a review and changed the call to a red card, leaving Denver with 10 players. Five minutes later, Joelle Anderson scored her first of the season to restore Bay’s lead.

There was a bit of ping pong in front of Bay FC’s goal in the 38th minute, bouncing off multiple defenders, and it seemed like they might score an own goal, but eventually the defense was able to clear it out.

Joelle Anderson was shown Bay FC’s first yellow card of the season following a challenge on Ayo Oke in the 51st minute.

Bay made a couple of substitutions around the hour mark, as Caroline Conti and the debuting Keira Barry took the field for Pfeiffer and Lema. Moments later, Denver took off Ally Brazier for Yuna McCormack.

After getting hit in the head by a shot, Carson Pickett was substituted off for Natalie Means. Anouk Denton then was brought on to make her Bay FC debut in the 84th minute.

Barry was shown her first yellow card in the NWSL in the 88th minute. Moments after the yellow card, Kundananji had a phenomenal scoring chance, but was denied by Denver’s goalkeeper, Abby Smith.

Kundananji was shown a yellow card during stoppage time, but moments later the final whistle blew and Bay FC was victorious.

San Jose Sharks Lincoln Juarez:

#1 San Jose is coming off a strong win over Boston and has been playing better recently, so the key question is whether they can carry that form into a tough road game in Montreal.

#2 The Canadiens are averaging more than 3.5 goals per game and have been strong offensively this season, especially at home.

#3 Players like Macklin Celebrini for San Jose and Nick Suzuki or Cole Caufield for Montreal could have a major impact on the outcome.

#4 The previous meeting earlier in March ended 7–5 in favor of San Jose, suggesting both teams can generate offense against each other.

#5 San Jose is fighting for a Western Conference wild-card spot, while Montreal sits high in the Atlantic Division and is trying to strengthen its playoff position.

San Francisco Giants game wrap: Roupp settles down after rough first inning in 6-1 loss to Reds, Birdsong hopes to only miss a few weeks

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

By Stephen Ruderman

SCOTTSDALE AZ–Landen Roupp was able to settle down after a tough first inning for a solid start, but the Giants still came up short in a 6-1 loss to the Reds at Scottsdale Stadium.

Landen Roupp is competing for a spot in the Giants’ rotation, and he took the ball against the Reds for a late-afternoon affair on a warm afternoon here in Scottsdale. The Reds got to Roupp for a pair of runs on a base-hit by JJ Bleday in the top of the first inning.

Fortunately, Roupp was able to settle down and throw a pair of scoreless innings in the second and third. Roupp gave up four hits. He walked three, and struck out four.

Erik Miller struck out the side in a scoreless top of the fourth. Blade Tidwell, who is competing for a spot on the roster, gave up a run in the top of the fifth. Tidwell, like Miller, struck out the side. Nick Margevicius pitched the final four innings, giving up three runs, two of them earned.

On the offensive side, Jerar Encarnacion went 2-for-4, and knocked in the Giants’ lone run with a double in the bottom of the seventh. Matt Chapman went 1-for-2 with a double, as did his replacement at third, Parks Harber. Will Brennan continued his sneaky-good spring with a 1-for-3 night, and he scored the Giants’ lone run.

Drew Gilbert went 0-for-4 tonight, and he is 1-for-7 since his return from his left shoulder injury. While Gilbert struck out in his first two at-bats today, he made solid contact in a fly out to fairly-deep right-center in the bottom of the seventh, and he fouled off a pair of two-strike pitches before grounding out in the bottom of the ninth.

What people have to remember too about Gilbert is that he is not even playing the field yet. A 1-for-7 since his return is hardly something for him or anybody else to be concerned about.

Birdsong hopes to only miss a few weeks:

Hayden Birdsong has been sidelined with what originally was reported to be soreness in his right elbow. However, Birdsong’s agent, Scott Boras, says it is not his elbow, and Birdsong plans to get a second option. Birdsong also said that he hopes to miss only a few weeks.

Two more players cut:

The Giants cut two more players today, both of them pitchers. Left-hander Juan Sanchez, who escaped walking the bases load in his appearance against the Chicago White Sox last night, has been cut. Right-hander Wilkin Ramos has also been cut.
