The Sacramento Kings won a thriller in overtime 126-123 as they rallied from an 18-point halftime deficit to beat the Orlando Magic 126-123. The Kings, under the watchful eye of head coach Mike Brown, have played an improved style of basketball. Sacramento beat the Charlotte Hornets and lost to the Miami Heat before playing Orlando Saturday night.

In the game against Miami, a blown call cost them the game. Miami’s Tyler Herro took four steps to make the winning bucket. Brown was screaming that Herro traveled. The call stood. However, after a review by the NBA, the review confirmed that Herro had traveled.

The Kings lost a game they should have won. The Orlando Magic entered the game on a high note. The Magic beat the defending NBA Champs, the Golden State Warriors, by one point, 130-129, Wednesday night. 

The Magic got off to a good start in the first period. They finished the quarter leading by eight, 33-25. They led early 20-6, but the Kings did close the gap. Orlando outscored the Kings by ten, 32-22, to finish the first half with an eighteen-point advantage.

Sacramento took a page out of the Warriors’ playbook as they owned the third quarter. They put 36 points on the board and held the Magic to 12. The score was 83-77 in favor of the Kings. Orlando fought back and was able to overcome the Kings’ six-point advantage. The game ended, tied 106-106. 

In the overtime period, the Kings’ De’Aaron Fox scored the first six points for his team. The Magic, led by rookie Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, refused to wilt. It was nip and tuck to the finish. Fox gave the Magic a chance to win when he threw away a pass in the backcourt with 6.6 seconds left. He atoned for his sin when he connected on a three-point shot from near mid-court to win the game for Sacramento.

Game Notes: With the win, the Kings are 3-5. The Magic dropped to 2-8.

The Kings had four players in double figures. Fox led the Kings with 37 points. Domantis Sabonis had a double-double with 25 points and eleven rebounds. He added six assists to his line. Trey Lyles and Malik Monk each added 15 points. 

The Magic had four starters in double figures. Paolo Banchero led the club with a double-double. The rookie tallied 33 points and 16 boards. Franz Wagner had 31, Wendell Carter, Jr., 17, and Bol Bol, the son of former Warrior Manute Bol, knocked down 23 and pulled down seven rebounds. The Magic bench contributed only 13 points.

The Kings return to California to face the Warriors Monday night at the Chase Center. Kings’ coach Mike Brown would love the beat his old team. Steve Kerr is hoping to find the right pieces to stop the five-game losing streak.

Washington State was not finished scoring, as they tacked on another 21 points on their opponent. Stanford’s three fumbles helped a great deal too in Washington State’s prolific scoring. Ashton Daniels fumbled, which was recovered by freshman safety Jaden Hicks for a 17-yard touchdown.

Cameron Ward tossed another touchdown for nine yards to sophomore Donovan Ollie. With less than a minute to go in the half, Cougars’ junior running back Nakia Watson exploded through the line for a 49-yard touchdown. 42-7 WSU

It’s Five Straight For Golden State Losing to Pelicans 114-105

By Barbara Mason

Friday night the Golden State Warriors (3-7) finished up their road trip taking on the New Orleans Pelicans (5-3) in the “Big Easy” and wound up dropping their fifth straight game 114-105.

It has been a road trip that no-one saw coming. Golden State has not win a single road game this season and looked for a win tonight against a very tough Pelican team. New Orleans had some great starters which of course included Zion Wiliamson along with CJ McCollum, Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciiunas. With Williamson completely healthy for this game under the best of circumstances would be a challenge.

Tonight’s game featured a new look for the Warriors. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green rested and watched the game from the bench. This was an absolute opportunity for the young guys to get on the floor and exercise their skills.

Game recap: The first quarter was a solid one for Golden State leading after the first 12 minutes 27-26. Ryan Rollins got his first three in the NBA in the quarter. Kevon Looney, Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody and Anthony Lamb were the starters for the game.

In the second quarter the turnovers were starting to mount with seven in the early going. After trailing by 11 points Golden State climbed back into the game trailing by a single point 50-49 with under three minutes left in the half. The youngsters were giving the elite Pelicans a run for their money.

New Orleans made a push in the final minute of the second quarter leading 61-54 going into the locker room. Despite trailing it was an impressive showing by the kids. At the half Poole had 12 points, Kuminga had 11 and Lamb also had double digits with 10 points.

With 3:79 left in the third quarter the Warriors had tied up the game at 70. Golden State remained competitive throughout the quarter. A tough sequence in the final minute gave the Pelicans an 88-79 lead going into the final quarter. Brandon Ingram was having a great game with 25 points supported by Williamson and McCollum each with 14.

The Warriors hung in this game for three quarters and made a push in the fourth quarter trailing 93-89 with eight minutes left in the game. Golden State was just looking to keep this game close. The Pelicans put up a real push in the final minutes and finished off the Warriors in the final game of this road trip. The final was 114-105.

The kids had some great moments. They struggled with traveling and turnovers but this was a terrific opportunity to play for these guys. They played a scrappy game and no doubt learned an awful lot. Poole finished with 20 points, Ty Jerome and Kuminga had 18, Lamb with 16 and Moody 14 points. Not bad for a bunch that hasn’t played together. The Warriors will head home with a five game losing streak.

The Warriors will have some time off before they take on the Sacramento Kings at Chase Center Monday night. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 PM.

On the 49ers podcast with David:

#1 A grand juror report that said the San Francisco 49ers handling of their legal issues with the City of Santa Clara over their stadium management revenue was called a “hatchet job” and “contained dozens or lies” according to 49ers spokesman Rahul Chandhok. Chandhok said the grand jury had “stacked” the report with Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor’s allies who the Niners are trying to unseat in the upcoming Tuesday mayoral election. Chandhok said that the grand jury were a “kangaroo court” and “a partisan group of cronies co-opting the justice system” will the voters take the 49ers side or Mayor Gillmor’s side in the grand jury event.

#2 Former San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Quentin Kopp said that Chandhok’s comments are “rife with personal innuendoes.” Kopp said if he was the grand jury judge he would ask the Niners “why they shouldn’t be held in contempt of court?”

#3 There have been members of the grand jury who said they have been followed or surveilled after the 49ers report came out.

Sacramento Kings podcast with Jeremiah Salmonson: Kings recent loss is fifth of last seven games; Sac concludes road trip on Saturday in Orlando

On the Kings podcast with Jeremiah:

#1 The Miami Heat were looking for a little payback Wednesday night after losing to the Kings last Saturday night in Sacramento 119-113 which they got with a 110-107 win over the Kings in Miami.

#2 The Kings played without their superstar De’Aaron Fox who is their offensive leader. There is good news in regards to the knee injury he suffered Monday night against the Hornets. The MRI that he underwent showed a bone bruise but no other structural damage. He missed Thursday’s game and there is no other update as to his return.

#3 It was a heart breaking loss for the Kings who fought so hard through the entire game. This game could not have been any closer. The absence of Fox really hurt but the Kings had a great game from Domantas Sabonis and Kevin Huerter both finishing with 22 points and Malik Monk had 19 points off the bench.

#4 Jeremiah, Kings head coach Mike Brown disputed a basket scored by the Heat’s guard Tyler Herro claiming he traveled with the ball. Herro’s basket turned out to be the winning bucket upon review the NBA did admit that Herro travelled and was never called for it.

#5 The Kings will try again as they face the Orlando Magic (2-7) to conclude this three game road trip on Saturday afternoon at 2:00pm PDT in Orlando. The Magic have lost two of their last three games.
