SACRAMENTO, California – The Sacramento Kings returned to action on Thursday night following a road trip that included stops in Boston, Chicago, and Milwaukee. The Kings emerged from the trip with a 2-1 record, having secured victories against the Celtics and Bulls but falling to the Bucks in their final matchup. On Thursday, the Kings faced the Houston Rockets at Golden 1 Center, with tip-off at 7 PM PST. The Rockets were playing the second night of a back-to-back, coming off an impressive 128-108 victory over the Denver Nuggets. The Kings, eager to rebound from their loss to Milwaukee, secured a hard-fought 132-127 win, improving their season record to 21-20 and their home record to 11-12.

The game was a tale of two halves, with the Kings dominating early before the Rockets staged a comeback. Sacramento built a 16-point lead at one point but had to fend off Houston’s late surge. The Kings edged the Rockets 26-25 in the first quarter and 35-27 in the second, taking a 61-52 lead into halftime. However, the Rockets responded in the third quarter, outscoring the Kings 33-29 to narrow the deficit. Both teams exploded offensively in the fourth quarter, scoring 42 points each, but Sacramento held on to clinch the victory.

The closing minutes were marked by tension, with both Domantas Sabonis and Dillon Brooks fouling out after committing careless fouls. Rockets head coach Ime Udoka expressed frustration with the officiating, calling the late-game whistles “soft” and criticizing his players’ foul troubles.

Key Performers – Kings

The Kings were led by an outstanding performance from DeMar DeRozan, who delivered in crunch time by scoring 16 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter. De’Aaron Fox also played a crucial role, going a perfect 5-for-5 from the free-throw line in the final minutes to seal the victory. Malik Monk provided a strong spark off the bench, contributing 26 points to the Kings’ effort.

Key Performers – Rockets

For the Rockets, Jalen Green led the charge with 28 points in the losing effort. Rookie Amen Thompson impressed with a double-double, scoring 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Alperen Şengün also posted a double-double, finishing with 21 points and 10 rebounds.

Postgame, the atmosphere in the Kings’ locker room was jubilant. Malik Monk praised the lively crowd at Golden 1 Center, saying, “I loved the energy tonight.”

Up Next

The Kings will remain at home to host the Washington Wizards on Sunday at 6 PM PST. As of this writing, the Wizards hold the league’s worst record at 6-33.

Cameron Indoor Statement: No. 16 Duke Snatches Cal’s Women, 72-38

Published on by moepeaLeave a comment

By Morris Phillips

DURHAM, NC–Coach Charmin Smith admitted facing highly regarded Duke wasn’t a great matchup for her Bears. But it was the biggest game of the season thus far, and she rightly expected her group’s competitive juices would surface.

The Bears competed, but they did so with multiple Blue Devils clawing and scratching for every available basketball. At first, Duke was annoying. In the second quarter, annoying became acute, causing Smith to call a timeout trailing 25-11. That timeout preceded another shot miss and two turnovers in less than a minute. The rout was cemented, and Duke ran off, winning 72-38.

“We weren’t able to handle the pressure well enough today to get any type of good looks for our scorers,” Smith said. “It was a rough night.”

Cal’s turnovers were game killers. A season-high 31 included 13 from Marta Suarez and Ioanna Krimili combined alone. That had both preoccupied and caused Smith to try other options briefly. Lulu Twidale saw so many Duke defenders leaping at her in closeouts, it’s not clear that she saw the basket when she finally made one late in the third quarter. Kayla Williams may have gotten the worse just by counting each time she had to pick herself off the floor after a Blue Devil leveled her to prevent a quality shot.

I thought it was a complete defensive performance by our group,” coach Kara Lawson said.

Zahra King, Cal’s freshman point guard, entrusted to maintain control of the basketball when Cal’s primary options failed may have suffered the telling moment of the evening when Duke defensive specialist Taina Mair ripped the basketball from King with such force that she found herself falling out of bounds. But Mair simply threw the basketball off King to maintain possession, which left King both speechless and action-less.

“I thought she was maybe the most impactful player in the game for us,” Lawson said of starting guard Mair, who was scoreless. “Her intensity, her competitiveness, her edge, how she disrupted, point of attack defense, five assists, one turnover, four steals. She just demanded her space out there. I told her that after the game. There’s so many more ways to impact winning other than scoring.”

Cal managed to get up 22 shots before halftime, a number rivaled by their 17 turnovers. The second half saw the Blue Devils grab 13 offensive rebounds, which severely limited Cal’s comeback hopes. The Cameron Indoor Stadium scoreboard captured it all, which wasn’t much. The Bears scored nine points in the second quarter and seven points in the third.

“They played phenomenal defense, and we really struggled with it,” Smith said.

Toby Fournier had 23 points, 11 rebounds to pace the hosts. Ashlon Jackson added 16, and Reigan Richardson had 14. Williams led Cal with 8 points.

Cal seeks a split in North Carolina on Sunday at Wake Forest, a team that couldn’t avoid an 0-6 start in ACC play on Thursday when their late comeback against Stanford fell short. The Demon Deacons are the only ACC without a conference win.

Utah HC Surrenders 3 Goals In The Third In 5-3 Loss To Rangers

SALT LAKE CITY–Utah loses 5-3 in back-to-back games as home struggles persist.

The Utah Hockey Club welcomed the New York Rangers to Delta Center on Thursday night for their second matchup of the season. Utah previously defeated the Rangers in New York 6-5 in overtime last October.

Mattias Maccelli lit the lamp just 61 seconds into the game for his 6th of the season, assisted by Barrett Hayton and Ian Cole, to give Utah the early lead. Artemi Panarin netted his 18th of the season just a couple of minutes later to tie things up for the Rangers, assisted by Alexis Lafreniere. At 8:12 of the first it was Maccelli again, crashing the net to knock in a rebound for his 7th goal, assisted by Barrett Hayton and Mikhail Sergachev, to put Utah up 2-1. With just a few minutes remaining in the opening frame, New York forward Arthur Kaliyev evened things up again at 2-2 with his first goal in a Rangers uniform since coming to the Empire State from the Kings.

Utah opened the second period on the power play, courtesy of a high-sticking penalty to Arthur Kaliyev late in the first. Less than a minute into the period, Logan Cooley one-timed a perfect pass from captain Clayton Keller for his 13th goal of the season with the additional assist going to Nick Schmaltz, giving Utah its third one-goal lead of the game. New York threatened to even things up once again during a 74-second 5-on-3 power play, but goatender Karel Vejmelka and his defense held the Rangers off and finished the period holding on to a 3-2 edge.

A cross-checking penalty to Alexis Lafrenière at the end of the second period gave Utah another opportunity to begin a new period on the power play. This time, however, it was New York converting a short-handed goal by Reilly Smith to tie things up once again at 3-3. Midway through the frame, the Rangers gave Utah fans another case of déjà vu all over again when Chris Kreider put New York up 4-3 with his 14th goal of the season, assisted by Sam Carrick. With Vejmelka pulled for an extra attacker, Artemi Panarin scored his 19th of the season into an empty net to put the game away 5-3.

The loss is Utah’s 7th of their last 8 at home where they have won just 6 out of 21 games this season.

After the game, Utah Hockey Club head coach André Tourigny said, “I think that we did a lot of good things, to be honest. I’m disappointed; it’s another loss by one shot. I think that we played really good again in the first half of the game. I didn’t mind the way we played in the second half–don’t get me wrong. Against Montreal, I didn’t like some stuff…Same thing against the Islanders. Not tonight. I think we played hard. The way they scored their two goals in the third period–those things will happen, but I think we deserved better tonight.” When asked about not letting frustration boil over, Tourigny responded, “It does boil. That’s why I’m proud of the guys today–because we approached that game with an unbelievable mindset. They were tuned in, their body language was good, they were positive, they were picking up each other, we worked hard. I said before (that) the other team is a factor in the game. That’s a good team. At some point, whatever or how good you play, they will make good plays. The puck will bounce over your stick…something will happen. They will have good times on the other side. Even in those moments, we battled hard (and) we played well. A broken stick in our zone; there was no panic, we defended well, we kept them on the outside (and) they could not get anything going. I loved the approach. I loved the resilience of the guys. I loved the fight. I’m so disappointed for the players first, for everybody, for the team. But it’s frustrating to see not getting (rewarded) for playing well.”

Utah returns to the ice for their sixth game of the homestand on Saturday at 7:00pm against the St. Louis Blues. Utah won their previous matchup 4-2 in St. Louis in November.

G League Action: Kings get revenge score 38 points in 4th quarter to defeat Stars 120-111

After a disappointing loss to the Salt Lake City Stars on Tuesday, the Stockton Kings had revenge on their mind as they returned to the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah.

The Kings got out to an early 27-19 lead in the first quarter, and maintained it through the second. Salt Lake City had a high-scoring third quarter which put them in the lead heading into the final frame with the opportunity to sweep the back-to-back between the two teams. An explosive 38 points in the final quarter shot Stockton back into the lead, and they’d walk away with a 120-111 win.

The difference was ultimately the Kings’ ability to have multiple offensive options. They had five players score 17 or more points, led by an unlikely hero, Antoine Davis who finished the night with 20 points. Strong contributions from Skal Labissiere, Terry Taylor, Isaiah Crawford and Dexter Dennis helped the Kings get back to their winning ways.

Davis had a phenomenal night from beyond the arc, as he went 6-10 from three-point range.

Mason Jones struggled a bit shooting 4-11 on the night, but as one of Stockton’s top performers this season they’ll certainly hope to see him back to his normal level of play next time out.

Meanwhile for the Stars, Taevion Kinsey and Justin Lewis not only led the team in points but were very efficient with their shot selection. Kinsey finished with 28 points, going 12-16 from the field while Lewis went 8-11, ending up with a total of 23 points. If Dereon Seabron was able to hit a few more of his shots for Salt Lake City, it could’ve been a much different story. He was 4-15 in general, but went 0-4 from three-point range.

Rebounds also went firmly in Stockton’s favor, as they ended the night leading 46-34 in that regard. Jon Elmore had a strong night defensively, leading both teams in steals with three on the night.

It was a big win for Stockton, as they solidified their position in the standings. They’re currently second in the Western Conference, and they’re quickly establishing themselves as a major contender in the G-League.

The Kings’ next match up will be a massively important one, as they’ll face the leaders of the Western Conference, the Santa Cruz Warriors on the road. The Warriors have spent their entire season on the road so far, so Stockton will have added pressure as Santa Cruz will certainly want to put on a show for their home fans in their home opener

Cal Bears podcast with Morris Phillips:

#1 Morris the Duke Blue Devils (14-4) made easy work of the Cal Bears (16-3) with a 72-38 win. The contest was not even close and the Bears didn’t get much offense was it a matter of the Bears shot was off or was it that the Blue Devils defense just was in command all night?

#2 Duke’s Toby Fournier was a scoring machine leading with 23 points and she did it all coming off the bench.

#3 Cal tried hard as they may to try and shut down Duke’s Ashlon Jackson who finished second in scoring with 16 and Reigan Richardson with third with 14.

#4 Cal’s scoring was not their previous games nobody finished in double figures. The top three scorers were Kayla Williams with eight, Ugonne Onyiah and Natalia Ackerman both with six. It just seem on one could get past that intimidating Duke defense.

#5 Cal will try it all over again against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (7-10) on Sunday with an 11:00AM PST tip. Wake Forest are coming off a tough loss to the Stanford Cardinal 74-71 tonight. Wake Forest are last in the ACC and have lost five in a row. Cal is coming in none too happy after the loss to Duke so Wake Forest will no doubt have their work cut out for them.

Sharks Fall 4-1 to Blue Jackets in Vlasic’s 1300th Game; CBJs extend win streak to six

By Mary Walsh

The San Jose Sharks fell 4-1 to the Blue Jackets in Columbus on Thursday. Adam Fantilli, Kent Johnson, and James van Riemsdyk scored for the Blue Jackets. Elvis Merzlikins made 18 saves for the win. Tyler Toffoli scored for the Sharks and Alexandar Georgiev made 30 saves in the loss.

The game was Marc-Edouard Vlasic’s 1300th in the NHL. He had one shot, blocked two and played 14:49. After the game, Sharks Head Coach Ryan Warsofsky said: “Quite the achievement, and to do it with one team is even more remarkable. True pro and he’s really helped our group since coming back from being hurt.” Sharks goaltender Georgiev said:

“You love playing with guys who are so solid, He hasn’t played for a while and then came back into the lineup. Just good patience, smart decisions every time. He’s in good positioning, from my point of view at least. So, it’s amazing the accomplishment he got. We’re very happy for him.”

The rest of the game left the Sharks with little to celebrate. Sharks forward Tyler Toffoli said: “I don’t think we were very good executing anything. You know, passes, we weren’t forechecking, we weren’t breaking pucks out and obviously turned some pucks over and they capitalized. And obviously we gave them too many chances.”

Zach Werenski intercepted the kind of pass that Toffoli mentioned, then carried the puck all the way down the ice with Adam Fantilli, two on one. Near the goal line, Werenski passed the puck to Fantilli in front of the blue paint for the goal. That was at 12:11 of the first period.

Sean Kuraly knocked the puck away from Mario Ferraro with a hit behind the net. He carried the puck up to the faceoff dot before passing it to Kent Johnson at the net so he could make it 2-0 with a snap shot. The time of that goal was 16:17.

The Sharks were outshot 13-6 n the first period, and had the only power play. The shot count got worse in the second period, ending 12-2 Columbus.

James van Riemsdyk scored the only goal of the second period. From just inside the faceoff circle, he redirected Damon Severson’s shot into the net. Assists went to Severson and Johnson.

The Sharks had two power plays in the second period and took one penalty.

The Sharks got on the board at 7:32 of the third period. Macklin Celebrini sent the puck to the net from the boards and Tyler Toffoli was there to put it away with a wrist shot. Assists went to Celebrini and William Eklund.

James van Riemsdyk scored his second of the night into an empty net from just below the blue line.

The Sharks next play on Saturday in Elmont against the New York Islanders at 4:30 PM PT.

Utah HC Squanders Strong Start In 5-3 Loss To Canadiens

SALT LAKE CITY–Utah’s home woes continue as 2-1 first period lead dissolves into 5-3 deficit against Montreal.

In the classic movie The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy clicks the heels of her ruby slippers three times while repeating the words, “There’s no place like home,” to be magically transported back to her family and loved ones in Kansas. For the Utah Hockey Club this season, they may prefer to click the heels of their skates while saying, “There’s no place like the road.”

For the first period of Tuesday night’s matchup against the Montreal Canadiens, Utah was clicking on all cylinders, taking an early lead on goals by recently recalled forward Josh Doan, a 5-on-3 power play goal, and center Nick Bjugstad. Utah overpowered the Canadiens on every front, outshooting Montreal 14-3 while finishing the opening frame with a 2-1 lead.

The second period was all Canadiens on the score sheet, as Patrick Laine and Kirby Dach each lit the lamp to give Montreal a 3-2 advantage heading into the final period of play.

Just three minutes into the third period, Utah center Logan Cooley energized the Delta Center with his 12th goal of the season, assisted by Nick Schmaltz and captain Clayton Keller to even things up at 3-3.

Canadiens winger Cole Caufield recaptured the lead for Montreal a few minutes later with his 24th goal of the season, but Utah continued to apply pressure to keep the game within reach.

Unfortunately for Utah, the struggles at home continued as Kirby Dach put the game away with his second goal of the night with just a few minutes remaining, for a final score of 5-3.

This was Utah’s 6th home loss over their past 7 games in Salt Lake City where they have won just 6 of 20 games so far this season as opposed to winning 12 of 23 on the road.

Defenseman John Marino, who was plus-one in the contest, made his Utah debut in his first game returning from injury. After the game, Marino talked about his first game in a Utah sweater. “Took a couple of shifts to get your legs under you and the rhythm and flow of the game with all the penalties and stuff, taking shifts off, but anything to step in the right direction.” Marino also addressed the challenge of finding chemistry with his new teammates. “It’s tough, missing out on training camp and everything. But you’re able to come in, have a couple of practices with everyone, be around the group as much as you can. (The) staff and organization, everyone in the room has been great helping me, so it’s just a learning process.”

Head coach André Tourigny gave his take on the game. “It’s frustrating. I think we played a really good first period, really good start. I liked our cohesion offensively in the first period. I didn’t like our second period, starting with getting in the box. When we came back from New Years, we talked about management of the second period, and we had, as a team, we struggled in the second period, and then the following three games we were excellent in the second period. We played our game the right way. We had the right mindset. When I say played our game the right way, we played more precise. We played really fast. And the opponent, we did not allow them to change. We were intense without the puck, so we didn’t have time and space, so we were able to get the energy on our side all the time, we had shot volume, and so on and so forth. Today we arrived in the second period, and we were so good in the first. I don’t know for which reason we thought the second period will not be a fight or whatever, I don’t know. Start getting the pucks right from the beginning, that confident rhythm. Even in the first, you know, they were going out there on the other side, there’s a few guys who had a tough time to get their rhythm, because it’s tough to get on the rhythm on your ice time and your next shift. So, long story short, it built up in the second period, and instead to recover, we got worse. And that was the game.”

Tourigny didn’t pull punches talking about the second period. “There’s no reason to have excuses. We had a great first period; you need to show up in the second. You know on the other side that they will push. They’re one of the best teams in the NHL in the last 12 games or so. They have two or three losses in their last 12 games. What do you expect? For 60 minutes, roll them over and they won’t push back? No, they will push back. You get three or four power plays in the first period, a 5-on-3. It’s time for all of us, coaches and players, to take our responsibility. We need to be better than that. That’s what I think.”

Utah hopes to reverse their home fortunes on Thursday at 7:00pm MST when they play host to the New York Rangers.

SJSU hands New Mexico their first conference loss in 71-70 win

By Madison Montez

SAN JOSE- In a game full of short leads, San Jose State extends their win streak to 2 and gives the New Mexico Lobos their first conference loss of the season.

Coming into tonight’s game, HC Tim Miles knew it was going to be a good matchup given the knowledge of the team and what they can bring to the table. “Excellent night for San Jose State, beat a high high quality opponent in a game where we weren’t at our best early.”

In quite a physical game by both sides, San Jose came out on top. Both teams had fouls in the double digits, New Mexico with 14 and San Jose with 15. “Yeah they were a physical team, but we just executed and did what we did and just played our game” said Latrell Davis.

Latrell Davis made two important shots that heavily contributed to the Spartans win tonight. He had a buzzer beater three to end the first half and a late layup in the second to put the Spartans ahead. “I thought I missed it but it went in and I was like yes!” said Latrell Davis. Davis put up 11 points with 2 assists.

Jermaine Washington had a great game tonight on both sides, defensively and offensively. Washington put up 13 points, making three 3’s, with a plus 18. Being only a freshman, this game was a step in the right direction for him “Just seeing him be able to play both sides of the floor, really exciting for him and I think he’s going to be a hell of a player next year.” said teammate Josh Uduje.

A win like this is crucial for San Jose State. Before tonight’s game, they struggled to close out and win those close games but they proved that they’re capable of it. “It’s so important for them to keep their enthusiasm up, right? Every game has been tough.” said HC Tim Miles.

The Spartans will be back in action on Saturday January 18th when they will travel to Nevada to take on the Wolfpack.
