Warriors Remain Winless On the Road Losing to Kings 122-115

By Barbara Mason

Sunday night the Golden State Warriors (5-8) took on the Sacramento Kings (6-6) hoping to win their first road game of the season. Limiting the turnovers will be key in this game. This has been troublesome all season as well as sending opponents to the line far too often. The Warriors will have to get that first road win for another day as they dropped Sunday’s game to the Kings 122-115 at Golden 1 Arena in Sacramento.

Golden State came out on fire hitting three three’s to start the game and taking a 39-26 lead after the first 12 minutes. Guard Stephen Curry started this game much the same as he finished their last game against the Cavaliers.

The second quarter saw a reverse of fortune for the Kings. They had trailed by fifteen points in the quarter only to take a halftime lead 64-62. The Kings outscored the Warriors in the second quarter 38-23. The Warriors had hit eight three’s and the Kings had nine. The Kings had scored 13 points off Warrior turnovers as Golden State continued to struggle in that department.

This is the third meeting between these two teams this season, all of these games very competitive.

The Warriors got their offense back on track in the third quarter taking back the lead 78-72 at 8:27. Both teams had hit 11 three’s. Just when the Warriors made a nice push, the Kings pushed right back taking the lead 80-78 mid-way through the quarter. One big factor in this game was the 14 rebounds by the Kings Domantas Sabonis as Sacramento continued to challenge the Warriors. After three quarters the Kings led 98-91.

The turnovers for the Kings began to mount and with six minutes left we had a one point game 109-108 in favor of Sacramento. Both teams got a bit sloppy in the closing minutes. Just inside of five minutes the Warriors took back the lead 111-110 in this see-saw of a game.

Golden State needed to close out this game as both teams traded the lead in the final three minutes. Winding down to the two minute mark, the Kings had taken a 119-113 lead. The Warriors just could make shots in the final minutes and came up short losing another road game 122-115.

Curry had the high score with 27 points and Jordan Poole finished with 18. The Kings defense was amazing especially Sabonis with an amazing 22 rebounds and 26 points. The Kings simply were the better team tonight.

The Warriors will be back home at Chase to take on the San Antonio Spurs Monday night. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM.

Raiders Fall In Final Minute to Colts 25-20

By Barbara Mason

Last Sunday Nov 6th the Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) lost to the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars 27-20. Quarterback Derek Carr threw for 248 yards and two touchdowns, enough to win most games. Las Vegas only managed 73 rushing yards and the fumble at the end of the game sealed the loss for the Raiders.

Sun Nov 13th the Raiders took on Matt Ryan and the Indianapolis Colts (4-5-1) and fell on the last play of the game 25-20. The Colts scored the first touchdown of the game in the first quarter. A rush by quarterback Matt Ryan up the middle for one yard gave the Colts the early lead 7-0.

In the early minutes of the second quarter Chase McLaughlin kicked a 48 Yd. field goal extending the Indianapolis lead 10-0. Through the first two quarters the Raiders offense was stagnant. In the final minute, at 0:58 Las Vegas showed some life. Quarterback Derek Carr completed a 4 Yd pass to Foster Moreau and a touchdown. The Raiders trailed at the half 13-7 but had finally gotten up on the scoreboard. The Colts had won the coin toss and elected to start the second half.

The Raiders put together an excellent drive late in the third quarter. On a 2nd and 20 Carr found Foster Moreau for 18 yards driving down to the Indianapolis 17 yard line. Moreau was injured during that play and his return was questionable. Three plays later Las Vegas scored when Josh Jacobs rushed for one yard tying up the game at 13. Daniel Carlson kick the extra point giving the Raiders their first lead of the game 14-13.

With less than two minutes left in the third quarter, the Colts put together a successful drive culminating in a Jonathan Taylor touchdown. The attempted two-point conversion failed. Indianapolis took a 19-14 lead into the fourth quarter.

The Raiders scored in the early minutes of the fourth quarter when Derek Carr found Devante Adams in the end zone for 48 yards and the Raiders third touchdown of the day. Las Vegas would attempt a two-point conversion that failed. The Raiders now had a 20-19 lead with 11:36 left in the game.

To this point Matt Ryan had not thrown for a single touchdown. Derek Carr on the other hand had thrown two touchdowns.

The Colts would take back the lead with 5:07 left on the clock 25-20. This was Matt Ryan’s second rushing touchdown of the game. At the two minute warning the Raiders were in Colt territory 1st and 10 at the 49 Yd. line. Las Vegas drove deep into Colt territory and with 55 seconds on the clock had a 4th and seven. It all came down to one final play for the Raiders. An attempted pass from Carr to Adams failed and Indianapolis came away with the win 25-20. Las Vegas had fallen to a dismal 2-7.

The Raiders waited far too long to get this game going. They had a terrible first half and came on strong in the second half but had to play from behind for much of the second half. It was just too little too late.

They had every opportunity to close out this game in the final minute but could not get any offense going. Carr finished with 248 yards passing with two touchdowns, Josh Jacobs had 78 rushing yards and one touchdown, Devante Adams finished with 126 receiving yards and one touchdown.

Next week the Raiders take on the Broncos in Denver a very tough stadium to manage. The atmosphere alone makes winning a challenge. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:05 PM PT.

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe, I guess San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle said it best on Wednesday after cornerback Jason Verrett on his Achilles tendon injury saying “It kind of sucks your soul out a little bit.”

#2 Joe, it was practice and there are different drills and different plays Verrett was working on with Verrett was trying to get into the line up and get ready for Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Kyle Shanahan broke the news to the team on the practice field you couldn’t hear a pin drop.

#3 Had Verrett made a comeback this Sunday it would have been his first game back since his knee injury in September 2021. Now with the Achilles tendon injury suffered this past Wednesday Verrett won’t be back until November 2023. He’s tried many times to come back but had injuries which required long recoveries.

#4 The 49ers will have to regroup as a team after the Verrett injury and hope that his absence won’t have an impact on the team’s morale going into this Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

#5 Joe, the Chargers have been playing some good football and have won four of their last five games. Their last win came against the Atlanta Falcons in a narrow 20-17 victory in Atlanta. Please size this one up as the Chargers and 49ers duel at Levi Stadium for Sunday Night Football with a 5:20pm kick off.

Cameron Rising threw three touchdown passes, Taylon Thomas ran for 180 yards and two scores, and No. 13 Utah dominated Stanford in a 42-7 Pac-12 football win for the Utes at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City.

After Stanford (3-7 overall, 1-7 Pac-12) took a 7-0 first quarter lead on a 1-yard quarterback sneak by Tanner McKee, it was all Utah (8-2 overall, 6-1 Pac-12), which used a big third quarter to pull away for good.

A 9-yard touchdown pass from Rising to Devaughn Vele tied the game at 7-7 less than two minutes into the second quarter. At 6:49 of the second quarter, Thomas ran for a 4-yard TD, giving the Utes a 14-7 halftime lead. Thomas’ run was set up by a 28-yard, fourth down catch by Vele.

Utah scored three times within seven minutes in the third quarter to put the game away. Rising connected with Thomas Yassmin for a 14-yard touchdown at 9:21, and threw a 19-yard scoring pass to Micah Bernard at 5:58. Rising has 18 touchdown passes this season.

Nate Johnson, a freshman backup quarterback, completed a 16-yard TD pass to Logan Kendall with 2:20 left in the period. It was Johnson’s first career touchdown pass for Utah.

Thomas finished the scoring with 36-yard touchdown run at 9:28 of the fourth quarter.

Rising completed 20 of 33 passes for 219 yards. He was sacked once and threw an interception. Vele caught six passes for 61 yards, and Dalton Kincaid caught four passes for 35 yards.

McKee, who was sacked seven times, threw 23 passes, completing 11 for 155 yards. Mitch Leigber was the Cardinal’s top rusher, with 40 yards on 12 carries. Elijah Higgins caught seven passes for 105 yards.

Both teams played a tight defensive battle for the final 40 minutes of regulation as neither goalie allowed a goal sending the game to overtime.

In overtime, CJ Suess led a three-on-two counterattack up the ice. Derrick Pouliot found Johnson in between the faceoff circles and Johnson blasted a shot past Annunen for the game winner, his third goal of the season.

Dell stopped 35 of the 36 shots he faced to earn the victory. Annunen made 21 saves on 23 shots in the losing cause.

Kings Finish Off Lakers in Final Seconds 120-114

By Barbara Mason

Friday night the Sacramento Kings (5-6) took on the Los Angeles Lakers (2-10) at crypto.com Arena. The Kings were coming off a 127-120 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers while the struggling Lakers lost to the Clippers 114-101 on Wednesday.

LeBron James had to leave the game against the Clippers with a groin injury and was unable to play Wednesday. The Kings picked up their third win in their last five games defeating the Lakers at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles 120-114. It was the Lakers fifth straight loss.

Game recap: The game was all tied after the first 12 minutes 23-23. The Kings took the lead for much of the first quarter but could never distance themselves from the Lakers.

The second quarter remained close until the five minute mark. The Lakers began to chip away and built a 12 point lead. With three minutes left in the half, the Kings began to make a push and after two quarters Sacramento had rallied and only trailed 60-56.

DeAaron Fox had been quiet through the first quarter and most of the second. The final two minutes of the half saw Fox turn things around heating up and finishing the half with 11 points. The slow start Kevin Huerter had also turned around in the second quarter.

The Kings took the lead mid-way through the third quarter but this game remained close. With 4:56 left the Kings were clinging to a one point lead 75-74. Domantas Sabonis had really stepped up from the start of this game. As the third quarter wound down the teams were trading the lead. The Lakers led after three quarters 88-87.

The early minutes of the fourth quarter were as tight as a game could be between these two teams. With 1:06 left in the game the score was tied 114-114. Sacramento dug in and took a 118-114 lead with 32 seconds on the clock. The high for the Lakers was Anthony Davis with 24 points and Russell Westbrook finished with 21 points off the bench.

This game was a dogfight with the Kings coming out on top. Fox finished with 32 points followed by Sabonis with 21 points. Terence Davis finished with 12 off the bench. Sacramento fought hard from start to finish and it paid off.

Sunday night the Kings will be back home taking on the Golden State Warriors. The Kings got close last Monday losing to the Warriors 116- 113. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:00 PM.

Stanford Strikes Out in the Brew City Battle against Wisconsin 60-50

MILWAUKEE, Wisc.– The Stanford Cardinal (1-1) lost a basketball game to the Wisconsin Badgers (2-0) 60-50 on a baseball field on a cold night in the Midwest.

“I do think at the end of the day, we’re going to have a fantastic 3-point shooting team and we’ll be a very efficient offensive team,” Stanford coach Jerod Haase said. “Obviously that wasn’t the case tonight. Certainly Wisconsin gets some credit for how they defended us.”

Both teams were in an unusual position, playing basketball on a Major League Baseball (Milwaukee Brewers) park and on an infield.

The Badgers hail from Wisconsin’s state capital, Madison, nearly an hour West of Milwaukee, so the crowd was mostly in their favor. Standard’s locale in the Bay Area of California doesn’t preclude its alumni and fans from traveling thousands of miles to support their alma mater or team.

The first 20 minutes was indeed a battle, although the Badgers did get out to an advantage as large as 13 points late in the half.

The Cardinal shot an abysmal 0-8 from beyond the arc, while the Badgers converted three out 11 attempts. At the midway point, the nocturnal mammal is peeling the bark off of the tree from Palo Alto, and led by 12, 32-20.

The Badgers managed to hang on to the lead, although the Cardinal attempted to chip away their opponents advantage by cutting the lead to as low as five, However, the adjacent home team held on to be ahead by 10 at the final buzzer.

Wisconsin Badgers 60, Stanford Cardinal 50

The Cardinal was led in scoring by junior forward Brandon Angel with 14 points, and senior guard Michael Jones contributed nine points, four rebound and two blocks.

Jones also spoke about the ambiance, “It’s different playing in an arena like this, it feels like a tournament atmosphere.”

The Badgers were topped by senior forward Tyler Wahl’s 17 points and five rebounds, in addition to junior guard Jordan Davis chipping in 13 points.

Stanford will fly back west and host San Diego State at Maples Pavilion Tuesday, November 15, while Wisconsin hosts state rival Green Bay at the Kohl Center on the same date.

Washington State running back Nakia Watson (25) takes off down field for a 41 yard touchdown against the Stanford Cardinal in first half action at Stanford Stadium on Sat Nov 5, 2022

On the Cardinal football podcast with Daniel:

#1 Daniel, last Saturday for the Stanford Cardinal (3-6) wasn’t even a contest as the Cardinal absolutely got landslided by the Washington State Cougars (5-4) on their home field at Stanford Stadium 52-14.

#2 The Cardinal quarterback Tanner McKee was running for daylight for most of the game as offensively he just couldn’t get anything going to come back in the second half of the game.

#3 Defensively the Cardinal couldn’t stop the Cougars who scored on all three of their first three possessions.

#4 The loss was Stanford’s sixth in eight games. For Cardinal head coach David Shaw this marks their losing record of 14-25 since 2018 their last winning season.

#5 Daniel, the Cardinal are on the way to face the mighty Utah Utes (7-2) the Utes have won three straight games and won their last game rather handedly 45-20 over the Arizona Wildcats. Stanford face Utah this Sat Nov 12th.
