The Sacramento Kings returned to action Monday night after a rough two-game road trip, where they suffered blowout losses to the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns. Following the defeat in Phoenix, Doug Christie remarked, “That’s not us,” as the Kings struggled to find their rhythm. Back home, they had an opportunity to bounce back against a Memphis Grizzlies team playing without Ja Morant. The Kings capitalized, securing a 132-122 victory at Golden 1 Center.

Sacramento got off to a strong start, with their offense firing on all cylinders. They outscored Memphis 37-26 in the first quarter, led by DeMar DeRozan’s eight points. Desmond Bane kept the Grizzlies in it with eight of his own. Christie had emphasized the importance of aggression after the loss to Phoenix, and the message clearly resonated.

The Kings maintained their intensity in the second quarter, remaining active in passing lanes and forcing turnovers that led to offensive opportunities. Both teams scored 28 points in the period, allowing Sacramento to hold onto its 11-point lead heading into halftime. Defensively, the Kings racked up nine steals and four blocks while forcing 12 Memphis turnovers. Zach LaVine and Malik Monk led Sacramento with 16 and 15 points, respectively, while Bane paced Memphis with 14. The Kings shot 51% from the field in the half, compared to the Grizzlies’ 46%.

Coming out of halftime, Sacramento aimed to sustain its energy, but an early injury to Domantas Sabonis shifted the atmosphere. Just over a minute into the third quarter, Sabonis rolled his right ankle while driving to the basket and had to be helped off the court. The injury appeared significant, as he had only recently returned from a hamstring injury. Sabonis did not return, and his status remains uncertain. Despite the injury, the Kings edged Memphis 33-32 in the quarter and carried a 98-86 lead into the fourth. Bane continued to lead the Grizzlies with 34 points, while Monk led Sacramento with 20.

Memphis made a push in the final quarter, outscoring Sacramento 36-34, but the Kings held on to secure the much-needed win. Their 132-point performance marked their highest scoring game since February 24th against the Hornets. The victory improved their record to 34-33, keeping them in ninth place in the Western Conference standings. The Grizzlies fell to 43-26, remaining locked into the fifth seed in the West.

Postgame, Christie praised his team’s effort, stating, “That’s us,” in contrast to his remarks following the Phoenix loss.

Sacramento’s defense was a key factor, with nine steals and four blocks helping to generate turnovers in the first half. When asked about the team’s aggressive approach, Christie responded, “A lot of it, to your point, is what we talk about and what we show them… It was pretty exciting for me, and I know it was for them too. I know our fans felt it as well.”

Monk, who had been struggling in recent games, delivered a standout performance with 28 points on 10-for-17 shooting. When asked if he felt like he was back to form, he replied, “Nah, not yet. I need another two or three games, but holla at me after that.”

While the win was crucial, the Kings face a tough test ahead as they prepare to take on the top team in the Eastern Conference on Wednesday. They will be hoping for good news regarding Sabonis’ injury as they look to build on Monday’s performance.

Kings Key Performances:

Malik Monk led the Kings with 28 points on 10-for-17 shooting.

Zach LaVine added 23 points on an efficient 7-for-11 from the field.

Jake LaRavia contributed 12 points and two steals, shooting 4-for-7.

Devin Carter recorded four steals in just under 11 minutes of action.

Up Next: The Kings remain at home to face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday at 7 PM at Golden 1 Center.

Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O: Skenes to start opening day for Bucs; Dodgers Ohtani goes deep in front of fans in Japan; plus more MLB news

On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Pittsburgh Pirates Paul Skenes got the word from manager Derek Shelton that he would be the opening day starter. Skenes 22 years old a right hander was 11-3 and had an ERA of 1.96 in 23 starts for the Pirates in 2024 and won the NL Rookie of the Year Award. He said upon finding out that he would be the opening day starter “sweet.”

#2 Japanese and Los Angeles Dodger star Shohei Ohtani was raking at the Tokyo Dome on Saturday night in exhibition play against the Yomiuri Giants. Ohtani slugged a Titanic two run home run to right field to give the Dodgers a 4-0 lead and sent 42,000 fans standing and roaring for Ohtani.

#3 Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez will be on the injured list for four weeks due to a oblique injury according to Marlins manager Clayton McCullough. Sanchez got hurt while playing in a spring training game against the Houston Astros. Sanchez 27 was a key hitter in the Miami line up last season hitting 18 home runs, 64 RBIs and 16 stolen bases an hit .252. He’ll be a bat that will be missed.

#4 Texas Rangers pitcher Jon Gray suffered a right wrist injury on Friday night which resulted in a fracture. Colorado Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia led off the fourth inning and lined one that struck Gray in the right wrist and will take him out of the rotation. The injuries are piling up for Rangers manager Bruce Bochy as left hand pitcher Cody Bradford is out with elbow soreness, pitcher Tyler Mahle is out forearm soreness. Not a great way to start the season as Bochy will have to work around the injuries to his pitching staff.

#5 Sacramento Athletic hitters are making good contact in spring training taking a look at some of the spring averages, starting with Lawrence Butler .355, 2 home runs, 7 RBIs, Shea Langeliers .348, 1 home run, 2 RBIs, Luis Urias .303, one home run, seven RBIs to name a few hitters who are doing some raking in the Cactus League for the A’s.

Quakes Stymied by Rapids 2-1 on a cool Star Wars Night in Pay Pal Park

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Force Was Not with the San Jose Earthquakes (2-2) as the Colorado Rapids (2-0-2) were able to flood the Silicon Valley 2-1, on Star Wars Theme Night.

San Jose was on the attack early, as they had two shots on goal within the first two minutes of the match.  Their aggression was impressive, but did not lead to any goals during the early moments.

Their defense was stellar, as they did not allow a shot, let alone a shot on goal for nearly 40 minutes,  However, Colorado used patience and was very efficient in their tactics.  They scored on their lone SOG and shot at the 38-minute mark on a timely kick by center midfielder Cole Bennett.  Rapids 1-0 over the home team.

At that point the ‘Quakes were Shakespearean Moment: Full of Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing.  However, that would change before the end of the half.  They were playing at a 12:8 ratio, Shots:S.O.G., and 0 goals to show for their efforts.

At the 45-minute + 1 extra minute, attacking midfielder and newcomer, Cristian Arango converted a one-timer boot to the back of the net off of a corner kick assist by Cristian Espinosa.  The game was tied 1-1 at recess.

The second half was a continuation of the Earthquakes trying to shake things up for their opponent.  Although no scoring opportunities came to fruition.  on the other side of the pitch, Colorado parlayed their efforts into a game-winning goal by striker Calvin Harris.  At the 71st minute the Rapids took the lead for good, even though there were 19 regulation minutes left in the game, with an additional 7 minutes of stoppage time.

Ten minutes after Harris’ goal, Arango received a yellow card for violating the space of a Colorado player performing a free kick.  San Jose still tried to get a second equalizer with the multitude of minutes left in the contest.  Unfortunately for the Earthquakes, their last attempt to tie the game was a header that was easily stopped by the Colorado goalkeeper, Zachary Steffen.

After 90 minutes + 9 more stoppage ticks, the Earthquakes were on the losing end of a one goal game for the second straight week at PayPal Park, 2-1.

The Quakes are next in action in the state of North Carolina, as they take on Charlotte FC, Saturday, March 22 at 7:30 PM ET/4:30 PM PT.  The Rapids head back to the Rocky Mountain State to host the Portland Timbers on the same date, at 7:30 PM MT.

The Chase of Great Ove Continues with a 5-1 win Against the Sharks

SAN JOSE–Tough battle at SAP against Ovi and the great Caps.

Saturday afternoon’s contest was a contrast from Thursday night which was very special for the Sharks after getting another W in a while plus two more points in the standings. People also witnessed the first duel between two former first-round picks, Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard. Saturday the Sharks got leveled by the visiting Washington Capitals at SAP Center in San Jose 5-1.

The assignment this evening, a tough one as the Sharks will try to get a second consecutive game in front of the best team in the east, the Washington Capitals.

The team is not just the best team in the east, but also has one of the greatest players in the history of the sport of Ice Hockey, Alex Ovechkin, who is in the chase to surpass Wayne Gretzky for most goals.

The first period was absolutely dominated by the Capitals, scoring three goals in the period. Dylan Strome put the first of the visitors seven minutes in from the start of the period. Then, two back-to-back goals by Aliaksei Protas two minutes apart.

During the second period, the game did not see any scoring, however, the game was plagued with fights, penalties, tension, and frustration by the Sharks for not finding ways to score. Tom Wilson, a familiar heavyweight, dropped the mitts with Zack Ostapchuk, soon after Brandon Duhaime will do the same against Noah Gregor.

Mario Ferraro picked up a penalty against Pierre Luc-Dubois.

The teal recorded only ten shots whereas the visitors managed to get 22 attempts on goal. The Sharks towards the end of the period got their minds locked in again and tried to set up plays, which neither one ended in goal. The team was clearly overwhelmed by the quality of the Capitals hockey.

In the second period, Macklin Celebrini opened up the scoring for the Sharks, and again, putting the team on his shoulders, setting the tone for more scoring. The Caps turned off any spark of shine for the Teal as 30 seconds apart, Trevor Van Riemsdyk netted the fourth goal in weird fashion.

Last time, Coach Ryan Warsofsky addressed having a special preparation to avoid any scoring from Alex Ovechkin, but the attempts did not work as thought. The Great Ove as he is known, scored the final goal of the game while also scored his 887th goal of his career, putting him just eight goals away from passing the Great One Wayne Gretzky.

The Sharks will have a few days off to brush off the loss and recover some energy to face another playoff team in the Eastern Conference, the Carolina Hurricanes on Thu Mar 20, 2025 at SAP Center.

Poturalski sets franchise record in 6-3 loss to Tucson

San Jose Barracuda vs Tuscon Roadrunners on Saturday March 15th at Tucson Convention Center Arena (via Will MacNeil)

By Madison Montez

Coming into Saturday night’s game, the Barracuda looked to get back in the win column coming off of a 5-4 overtime against the Abbotsford Canucks on March 8th. In the loss, Jimmy Schuldt, Pavol Regenda, and Colin White all registered goals. Getting back in the win column the Barracuda were able to do some rebounding with some aggressive offense with a 6-3 win over the Tucson Roadrunners on Saturday night.

San Jose played without the hot streak of Thomas Bordeleau. Bordeleau was in warm-ups but had an aggravated lower body. The Barracuda will be playing without one of their top five goal scorers.

Carl Berglund, who was acquired via the Jake Walman trade, drew in making his San Jose debut. Previous to this, Berglund was with the Bakersfield Condors where he had two goals and ten assists through 45 games played.

Tucson opened up the scoring at 7:30 of the first period. Curtis Douglas extended his goal streak to three, scoring his sixth of the season. Ryan McGregor and Max Szuber registering the assists. The Roadrunners extended their lead at 10:04 when their captain Agozzino scored his 15th of the season. Robbie Russo and Sammy Walker registering the assists.

On an Andrew Poturalski tripping penalty, the fifth ranked power-play team were given their second opportunity. Andrew Agozzino scored his 6th power-play goal of the season, his second goal of the night. Kailer Yamamoto and Max Szuber registering the assists. Agozzino and Szuber both with their second points of the night.

San Jose didn’t back down without putting up a fight. Colin White scored early at 1:35 of the second. Danil Guschin and Pavol Regenda registering the assists. White extending his point streak to two, Guschin extending his point streak to three and Regenda extending his point streak to two.

Tucson extended their lead again when Andrew Agozzino completed the hat-trick, scoring his third goal, also his second power play goal of the night. With the Agozzino hat-trick, San Jose has now given up five hat-tricks this season. Max Szuber and Ben McCartney registering the assists. Szuber assisted on three of Tucson’s four goals.

San Jose showed life when they scored their 51st power-play of the season, remaining the top ranked power-play team in the division. Andrew Poturalski scored his tenth power-play goal of the season. Not only does Poturalski lead the AHL in points but he now has set a franchise record for points in a single season (62). Danil Guschin and Luca Cagnoni registering the assists. Guschin with his second point of the night.

Cutting back into Tucson’s lead, San Jose scored their second power-play goal of the night scored by Rem Pitlick. Danil Guschin and Luca Cagnoni registering the assists. Guschin’s third assist and Cagnoni’s second of the night.

With 44.1 seconds left, Yamamoto sealed the win for the Roadrunners scoring an empty net goal.

20 seconds later, Ben McCartney scored another empty net goal to make it a 6-3 final.

THREE STARS OF THE GAME:

  • 1. Andrew Agozzino
  • 2. Max Szuber
  • 3. Curtis Douglas

The Barracuda will be back in action tomorrow against the Roadrunners once again. San Jose is now 1-2-0 against Tuscon this season.

Giants Shake Off Early Miscues, Power Past Mariners 6-2

By Jeremiah Salmonson

SCOTTSDALE — The San Francisco Giants brought the heat to a chilly 64 degree Scottsdale, Arizona. On Saturday, Bob Melvin rolled out a lineup that closely resembles what many expect to be the Opening Day lineup on March 27. The starting group featured LaMonte Wade Jr., Willy Adames, Matt Chapman, Heliot Ramos, Patrick Bailey, Wilmer Flores, Jerar Encarnacion, Tyler Fitzgerald, and Grant McCray. Jung Hoo Lee was a late precautionary scratch due to back tightness, though it’s not believed to be serious, and he may return as soon as tomorrow.

That lineup delivered, as the Giants cruised to a 6-2 victory over the visiting Seattle Mariners.

Logan Webb took the mound at a sold out Scottsdale Stadium as the Giants looked to continue their strong spring.

The scoring opened in the top of the second when the Giants struggled defensively with uncharacteristic infield errors. The inning could best be described as “throwing the ball all over the field.” Matt Chapman committed a fielding error, then followed with a throwing error on a double-play attempt that led to the game’s first runs. Logan Webb also had a throwing miscue, capping a rough sequence in which the Giants committed three errors in the inning. After the game, I asked Bob Melvin if he had to pinch himself watching Chapman—a Platinum Glove defender—make two errors in one inning.

“It’s like, get them out of the way now,” Melvin said. “Every once in a while, you’re going to have a game like that. And both those balls took funky hops. The throw was good—that wasn’t his fault on the double play.”

The Giants didn’t dwell on the miscues for long. In the bottom of the second, Heliot Ramos launched his first homer of the spring, an opposite-field shot off Logan Gilbert on a 1-1 count, cutting the Mariners’ lead to 2-1.

One inning later, the Giants took the lead. LaMonte Wade Jr. and Willy Adames each singled to center to set the stage for Ramos, who followed up his home run with a two-run double off the top of the left-center field wall, putting San Francisco ahead 3-2.

Webb settled in, tossing two more scoreless innings to finish with a strong line: five innings, 75 pitches, two unearned runs, one hit, one walk, and five strikeouts.

“Only gave up a run, but he shouldn’t have given up any,” Melvin said of Webb’s outing. “Good cutter again today, slider working both sides of the plate, changeup—everything looked good. When you’re seeing balls on the ground, you know he’s on his game.”

The Giants’ offense stayed hot in the fifth. Grant McCray doubled to left before Adames crushed a scalding opposite-field homer to right-center, extending the lead to 5-2.

Tyler Rogers worked a clean top of the sixth, allowing only one hit, and Jerar Encarnacion capped the scoring in the bottom half with a solo shot to right. The Giants led 6-2, which held as the final score.

The bullpen locked things down the rest of the way. Ryan Walker, Camilo Doval, and Randy Rodriguez pitched the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings, respectively, allowing just one hit combined while striking out five.

With the win, the Giants improved to 14-5, holding the best record in both the Cactus and Grapefruit leagues this spring.

Giants Top Performers:

Logan Webb earned the win, improving to 3-0 with a 1.84 ERA this spring.

Heliot Ramos went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBIs.

Jerar Encarnacion finished 2-for-3 with a double and a homer.

The Giants’ bullpen combined for four innings of two-hit, no-walk baseball with six strikeouts.

Up Next: The Giants face the Sacramento Athletics on Sunday at Scottsdale Stadium, with first pitch set for 1:05 PM PST.
