LAS VEGAS, NV — The Las Vegas Raiders (2-8) lost their fourth straight game, 33-16, at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys (4-5-1) inside Allegiant Stadium on national television..

The Raiders actually led early in the contest, after Max Crosby forced a fumble out of Dak Prescott’s hands in Dallas territory. The Silver and Black capitalized on the visitors’ mistake. Kicker Daniel Carlson booted a 25-yard field goal, to put the home team up by three, 3-0.

Dallas kicker Brandon Aubrey put the Lone Star State Desperados on the board with his 50-yard FG conversion, tying the game at three, 3-3. However, Carlson came right back and made one from 45 yards out, placing the Raiders back in front, 6-3.

That advantage lasted to the end of the first quarter. After the first 15 minutes of the contest, the Raiders were on top by three. Unfortunately, the second quarter was a totally different scenario that the field goal filled first stanza..

Prescott got the party started early in the second quarter. He tossed an 18-yard to WR CeeDee Lamb nine seconds into the quarter. The Cowboys not only took the lead, but snatched momentum from the Raiders. Dak was not finished there. Less than 10 minutes later he lofted another TD pass for five yards to his tight end Jake Ferguson. Before anyone knew it, the Cowboys went from down three to up 11 in under 10 minutes of second quarter gameplay, 17-6.

Raiders quarterback threw a costly interception, which Dallas took with gratitude. They parlayed that into yet another visit to paydirt. Prescott hit WR George Pickens for a 37-yard strike, to widen the lead to 18 points, 24-6 near the midway point of the game. Las Vegas mustered up three more points before recess.

As the halftime whistle sounded, Daniel Carlson booted a 38-yarder through the uprights to close the deficit to 15. At the half, the North Texas rustlers led 24-9 after 30 minutes of regulation.

During the mid game break, musical entertainment was provided for the full house in the Raiders’ domain. Cornell Haynes Jr. (Nelly) performed to the delight of many, while some are upset for his previous performance at another venue.

The third quarter started with an uninspiring possession by the Raiders. Dallas added more points to their total with a little more than six minutes left in the third quarter. Prescott passed his fourth touchdown to his f4th different target. The last one was a two yard exchange with WR Ryan Flournoy. The Cowboys took their largest advantage of the evening (22), when they went up 31-9 during the 3/4 mark of the battle.

Early in the final quarter, Geno Smith finally found someone in the endzone. He secured WR Tre Tucker with a two yard loft for six. The Raiders seemingly still had fight in them early in the fourth quarter, trailing by 15 (31-16). Less than two minutes later, there was another tally added to the scoreboard.

Running back Ashton Jeanty took a handoff in his own endzone, but failed to exit the premises before being swarm tackled by ‘Dem Boys. The safety garnered two more points to Dallas’ already impressive total, 33-16. The Cowboys decided to take several kneels, showing mercy to the Raiders and Pete Carroll.

After the allotted 60 minutes elapsed, the Dallas Cowboys were the victors by 17 points. The celebration was subdued, as the team, league and MNF were respectfully honoring the life of the Late Marshawn Kneeland, He recently died by suicide, and the Cowboys in particular have dealt with a whirlwind of emotions.

The Raiders will next be in action Sunday, November 23 hosting the Cleveland Browns at 1:05 PM PT on CBS. The Cowboys head back to Dallas (Arlington) to host the Philadelphia Eagles on the same date at 3:25 PM CT on FOX.

San Jose, Calif–The Spartans (1-3) buried the Flames (0-4) under a relentless first half surge, turning an early 9-8 deficit into a 15-0 run that broke the game open and came away with a 110-56 victory at Provident Credit Union Arena. San Jose State led 54-24 at the break and never let up in a wire to wire blowout.

SJSU guard Colby Garland scored a team high 17 points, and Roseborough added 12, all in the first half to pace the Spartans’ balanced offense. Camron Durr led Bethesda with 11 points.

San Jose State dominated nearly every statistical category. The Spartans shot 65% from the field (43 of 66) and 52% from 3 point range (12 of 23), while holding Bethesda to 30% shooting overall. SJSU outrebounded the Flames 55-18 and outscored them 60-18 in the paint.

The only brief scare for SJSU came early in the second half, when Garland went down awkwardly after a collision under the basket. He returned quickly and said afterward the issue wasn’t serious.

“Oh I’m actually feeling pretty good,” Garland told Sports Radio Service. “…I injured this ankle early in preseason, so it’s been lingering. It tightened up a bit, but I went to the back, got a few massages and went right back out there. I feel good.”

San Jose State opened the game hitting shots at a high clip but struggled with turnovers early. Once the Spartans cleaned up their possessions, the offense exploded behind strong ball movement and physical interior play. Bethesda briefly slowed the run with a 3 pointer midway through the half, but the Spartans controlled the rest of the night.

SJSU’s starters combined for 64 points, including strong showings from Jermaine Washington and Yaphet Moundi, who opened the second half with a 3 pointer to extend the margin.

With the win, SJSU is now 1-3, while Bethesda falls to 0-4.

San Jose State returns to action later this week looking to build on its first victory of the season.

#3 For Smith 27-42, 238 yards, one touchdown and one interception. No doubt on trying to get anything going it was a frustrating evening for Smith in another loss chalked up by the Raiders.

#5 Raiders try to pick up the pieces and go at it again next Sun Nov 23 against the Cleveland Browns (2-8) who are having their own problems having lost their last three games in a row. How do you see this match up this coming Sunday at Allegiant with Cleveland?

On the Stanford Cardinal podcast with Daniel:

#1 How critical will Stanford quarterback Elijah Brown’s performance be for Stanford’s chances, given his experience and passing production so far this season?

#2 Running back Micah Ford has been a key contributor in Stanford’s ground game. How effectively can Cal defend him, and what would be the impact if Ford has a big game?

#3 Wide receiver CJ Williams has been Stanford’s top receiving target. In what ways could he exploit Cal’s secondary, and how might his presence influence the game plan?

#4 On defense, Matt Rose (ILB) has led Stanford in tackles. How important is his role in stopping Cal’s offense, particularly on third downs and in open-field situations?

#5 Which of Stanford’s other playmakers — for example, Tuna Altahir (RB) or Ben Gulbranson (backup QB) — could make a decisive impact, and under what game scenarios might they be most effective?

Kings Lose Sixth In a Row To Spurs 123-110

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Sacramento Kings guard DeMar DeRozan (10) drives on the San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes (40) at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio on Sun Nov 16, 2025 (AP News photo)

By Barbara Mason

The Sacramento Kings (3-11) trailed the entire game in their sixth straight loss falling to the San Antonio Spurs (9-4) 123-110. It was more of the same, falling behind early sprinkled with some questionable defense and some poor offense.

DeMar DeRozan had the game high with 27 points and Domantas Sabonis recorded another double double with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Dennis Schroeder was spectacular off the bench with 22 points and six rebounds.

They were the good news in yet another loss for the team. It is just a matter of time before we see some long overdue changes as re-building seems to be the only option for the team. It is still early in the season but nothing seems to change for this current lineup and keeping them in place doesn’t seem a wise option. Whether these changes come sooner or later, they are coming.

Game recap: As the first quarter got underway both Domantas Sabonis and Precious Achiuwa both were in the line up despite being doubtful before the start of the game.

As has been the case far too often, the Kings trailed after the first 12 minutes of play. The Spurs had a 36-24 lead going into the second quarter. Sacramento started to turn things around outscoring the Spurs in the second quarter 35-31. San Antonio took a 67-59 lead into the locker room at the half.

As the third quarter got underway the Spurs continued to extend their lead and had actually led by 19 points in the quarter. As the quarter wore down the Kings had trimmed the San Antonio lead trailing by ten points going into the fourth quarter which has proven to be their achilles heel all season.

Unlike their last game, DeMar DeRozan was having a great game but Zach LaVine was having another slow start. Dennis Schroeder was solid off the bench and this game was still within reach with San Antonio leading 95-85 after three quarters but it was critical for Sacramento to start strong in the final quarter of the game.

Unfortunately for the Kings, they did not start the quarter strong instead they gave up two quick baskets, a De’Aaron Fox three-pointer followed by another Fox 18-foot jump-shot increasing their lead to 100-85 .

Sacramento rallied five minutes into the quarter cutting the Spur’s lead to single digits 105-98 but that’s where it all stalled out. San Antonio closed the game out winning by the score of 123-107 and Sacramento had increased their losing streak to six.

Domantas Sabonis recorded another double double in the game with 17 points and 13 rebounds. DeMar DeRosan had a terrific game scoring 27 points with four assists. Zach LaVine never came around and finished with eight points, two rebounds and three assists.

Russell Westbrook was solid with 14 points, nine rebounds and seven assists a great effort. Dennis Schroeder had a sound performance off the bench finishing with 22 points, six rebounds and five assists. Malik Monk also had a worthy effort scoring 16 points.

Fox finished the game with 28 points, the game high. Luke Kornet had a double double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Harrison Barnes also had a terrific game for the Spurs with 20 points. The San Antonio bench scored a combined 42 points in the game the same number that the Kings bench scored.

Game notes: Sunday afternoon the Kings once again suffered another loss this time against the Spurs Sunday. The Kings lost to the Timberwolves Friday via another disastrous fourth quarter meltdown.

The Kings kept pace with Minnesota through three quarters but fell apart in the final quarter of the game. Struggles abound for the team. They have the fourth-worst defensive rating in the league as well as the sixth-worst offense.

The Kings consistently fall behind early and faces having to fight from behind. This trend continues game after game along with the fourth quarter woes. They can’t string together stops and continue to give up high scoring quarters giving opponents a huge edge.

They had three good quarters recently against the Nuggets and the Timberwolves but ugly starts in the fourth quarter of those games signaled the end. Unfortunately it’s not one player who is struggling defensively, the hard truth is that it’s the entire team and they do it game in and game out.

The Spurs come into this game without their superstar Victor Wembanyama who missed the game with calf tightness. This could have been a huge break for the Kings but will they couldn’t take advantage. They had to face former teammate DeAaron Fox who scored 28 points against his former teammates.

The Kings loss now puts them on a six-game losing streak and they need to find a way to get back in the win column. The Kings Domantas Sabonis was listed as questionable but ended up playing with a left ribcage contusion and Precious Achiuwa played the game.

The Kings will now travel to Oklahoma City jumping from the frying pan into the fire as they take on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder on Wednesday night November 19th as this brutal schedule continues. Tipoff for this game is scheduled for 5:00 PM.

White’s late game heroics propel Barracuda over Reign in 4-3 comeback win

SAN JOSE — Colin White scored the game winning goal with 3:59 remaining in the third period as the San Jose Barracuda overcame a late deficit for a 4-3 comeback victory over the Ontario Reign on Saturday evening at Tech CU Arena.

San Jose has won four out of its last five games and has points in its last seven games. Ontario has lost two games in a row.

Ethan Cardwell sent a shot in from the left wing toward a sea of traffic in front of the crease. The shot was blocked out front where White pounced on the puck and cleaned up the rebound for his fourth goal of the season.

San Jose (6-5-1-1) drew first blood with an even strength goal early in the first period. Kasper Halttunen fed a cross-ice pass to Lucas Carlsson. The second-year defenseman beat Reign goalie Phoenix Copley with a wrist shot top shelf to the near corner for his fourth goal of the season. Pavol Regenda picked up the secondary assist.

The Barracuda doubled its lead late in the opening frame. Quentin Musty centered the puck from behind the net out to Filip Bystedt who rifled home a one-timer into the back of the net for his second goal of the season and first since opening night at the 18:08 mark. Luca Cagnoni picked up his sixth assist of the season with the secondary assist on the play.

Ontario (8-5-1-0) had the game’s first power play opportunity a minute and a half into the game but weren’t able to cash in. They were outshot 15-8 by San Jose in the first 20 minutes.

The Reign cut the lead in half with a power play goal late in the second period. Andre Lee found ‘Cuda killer” Martin Chromiak along the left slot. Chromiak beat Cuda goalie Jakub Skarek with a wrist shot top shelf to the far side for his sixth goal of the season at the 13:14 mark.

Ontario evened the game with its second power play goal of the game early in the third period. Glenn Gawdin sent the puck down low to Lee behind the net. Lee got Skarek to come out from the crease before pinballing the puck off of Skarek for his fourth goal of the season at the 2:58 mark. Lee snapped a 13-game goal less draught.

Lee scored his second power play goal and third overall for the Reign at the 7:03 mark. Gawdin’s shot from the left wing went off the stick off Lee for his fifth goal of the season.

San Jose scored the equalizer moments after a power play opportunity just ended late in the period. Cam Lund centered the puck from behind the net past two Reign defenders out to a wide-open Cagnoni. The second-year defenseman’s one-timer was gloved out of the air by Copley on what was initially a spectacular save. After a lengthy review it was determined that Copley made the save with the puck having crossed the goal line in midair. Cagnoni was credited with his fourth goal of the season, his first at even strength, at the 13:34 mark.

Skarek finished the game stopping 24 of the 27 shots he faced to earn his fifth win of the season. Copley made 25 saves on 29 shots in the losing effort.

GAME NOTES: San Jose finished 0-for-3 on the power play. Ontario went 3-for-5.

San Jose scored the game’s opening goal for the fourth game in a row.

The Three Stars of the Game: 1) White (1G, 1A) 2) Lee (2G,0A) 3) Cagnoni (1G,1A).

UP NEXT: San Jose travels down to San Diego to take on the Gulls on Wendesday November 19th at 7:00pm at Pechenga Arena.
