SAN JOSE- Looking for redemption San Jose took on Nevada at home.

After a quick start to the first half seeing Nevada jump out to a 10-5 lead San Jose responded and with 5:50 left it was a one point game at 22-21.

San Jose was never able to take a lead but Nevada could never pull to far away either as the opening half ended at 34-29.

The leading scorer in the first half for San Jose State was Latrell Davis who posted 11 points shooting 4-8.

For Nevada Nick Davidson lead the way with seven points as he shot a very efficient 3-4.

In the second half SJSU was able to tie it this time at 40 just four minutes into the half.

Unfortunately after the tie Nevada went on a long run as they took their lead to 57-42.

After extending their lead to 67-48 SJSU was able to pull back a little closer at 72-59 which lead Nevada to take a timeout.

The effort ended up mattering little though as Nevada was able to cruise the rest of the way to a 84-63 victory.

Overall in the game the leading scorer was Nick Davidson who dropped 23 points going an extremely impressive 8-9 from the field.

SJSU did have two players reach double digits as Myron Amey Jr. dropped 18 and Davis dropped 17.

With the loss the Spartans fall to 9-19 while Nevada improves to an incredible 22-6.

As the season winds down San Jose State will play next San Diego State on the road on Tuesday at 8 p.m.

The Barracuda returned home to take on the the Canucks in the first of back-to-backs.

In goal for San Jose was Georgi Romanov while between the pipes for Abbotsford it was Nikita Tolopilo.

It was a wild first period in this one with both teams combining to score five goals.

The scoring was kicked off by Cole McWard and they kept the lead until 10:14 when Thomas Bordeleau tied the game on the power play.

Tanner Kaspick then scored to give San Jose the lead which the Canucks quickly responded to as Vasily Podkolzin tied the game right back up.

In the dying moments of the period shorthanded Anthony Vincent got San Jose the lead back with his second of the season.

The middle frame saw the offense quiet down with only one goal being scored by Abbotsford as John Stevens got his 12th of the campaign.

Heading into the third with the score tied the Canucks struck first as Filip Johnason got his team out front early.

While it looked like San Jose may have to pull their goalie to get back even Jack Studnicka prevented that from happening as he scored tying things back up at 4-4.

The home crowd got some free hockey as the game went to overtime but despite the combined seven shots between the teams nobody scored.

In the shootout Ethan Cardwell, Bordeleau, and Studnicka all shot for the Barracuda but none of them scored.

For the Canucks they’d only need one and they got the goal from Linus Karlsson as he secured the victory for Abbotsford 5-4.

The three stars of the game were: 1st: Linus Karlsson 2nd: Anthony Vincent 3rd: John Stevens

San Jose will look to bounce back tomorrow against these same Canucks as they’ll do battle at 2 p.m.

It was ugly but Warriors hold on beat Hornets 97-84; Golden State coach Kerr signs for 2 more yrs at $35 million

By Jerry Feitelberg

The Golden State Warriors (29-26) welcomed the Charlotte Hornets (14-42) to the Chase Center Friday night. The Hornets entered the game with a record of 14-41. Yet, the Hornets had won four straight. Charlotte’s star point guard, LaMelo Ball, was sidelined with an injury and would not play.

Everyone thought the Warriors would win in a cakewalk. The Hornets, coached by Steve Clifford, had other thoughts. The players knew they had to find a way to disrupt the Warriors’ game plan. Both teams played poorly in the first half.

The Warriors scored just 43 points in the first 24 minutes of play. The Warriors turned the ball over 14 times. The Warriors defense put the clamps on the Hornet offense. Charlotte tallied 29 points in the half. The Warriors got the offense going in the third quarter and held on to win, 97-84.

As mentioned above, the first two-quarters of the game were ugly. Neither team could get into a rhythm. The leading scorer for the Warriors was Gary Payton II. GP2 had eight points to lead the team. Stephen Curry had seven, and Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Jonathan Kuminga each had six. Miles Bridges had ten for the Hornets in the first half. 

The Warriors offense came to life in the third quarter. They won the quarter30-23 and finished the period with the lead, 73-52. The Warriors led by 20, 80-60 after Thompson hit a three. The Warriors refused to let the Hornets get too close.

Curry hit a three to put the Warriors up 89-71. Head coach Steve Kerr took his regulars out of the game. The Hornets offense closed the gap to ten, 92-82. The time left in the game was a minute and 42 seconds. There was a remote possibility that the Hornets could make up the ten-point deficit.

That didn’t happen, as Moses Moody made a three with 1:05 left. Lester Quinones set off tempers when he made a basket with 12 seconds left. The Hornets’ Miles Bridges and Grant Williams were furious that Quinones took the shot.

The Warriors were going to win. The unwritten rule was to run out the clock. Quinones was hit with two technical fouls and was ejected from the game. Bridges and Williams each had a technical foul called on them. Williams was ejected. There was no scoring in the final few seconds of the game after the altercation.

Game Notes: It was an ugly win, but it is still a win. The Warriors improved to 29-26. Golden State has won ten of the last 12 games played. The Hornets fell to 14-42. 

The Warriors had five players in double figures. Curry led the club with 15 points. Curry made three threes in eight tries. Wiggins had 14, Thompson and Brandin Podziemski each had 13, and Payton II added 12. The Warriors shot 42% from the floor and made 13 threes.

The Hornets also had five players with double-figures. Bridges led Charlotte with 19 points and 11 boards. Nick Richards and Brandon Miller each had 11. Tre Mann and Grant Williams had ten.

Kerr signed a two year extension worth $35 million, the contract is listed as a record annual value for a head coach. Kerr is in his tenth year with Golden State as his current contract expires at the end of this season. Kerr is breathing some relief as he was focused on this season but now that the contract issues have been completed he can focus on coaching and not on his future with the team.

The Warriors finish the homestand against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday at 4 pm.

Oakland A’s Relocation podcast with Daniel Dullum: Can A’s get past City of Oakland’s expansion demands for Coliseum use? The MLB clock is ticking

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Major League Players Players Association Chief Tony Clark met with Oakland A’s players on Tue Feb 20, 2024 at Hohokam Park in Mesa AZ to discuss their interim Stadium situation for 2025. As players were concerned where they’ll end up. Some players may not opt to play in a minor league park if that’s where the A’s end up playing for the interim. (AP file photo)

On the Oakland A’s Relocation podcast with Daniel:

#1 Daniel, this week in Mesa AZ the A’s spring training facility A’s team president David Kaval said that there are three options available for 2025 Sacramento, Oakland or Salt Lake City. It was reported that Sacramento was the top contender of the three but an A’s source said that the A’s never said anything of the kind and the team is still trying to decide which venue they’ll choose after this season.

#2 To this date it’s still a mystery where the A’s will play for the 2025 season that’s an issue considering baseball wants to get that resolved as they want to have a schedule ready by July.

#3 Representatives from the Major League Baseball Players Union showed up at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa with Union Chief Tony Clark on Tuesday and the players had questions but Clark may not have had much on answers. The fact of the matter still remains the players if it came to a vote and it could will not elect to play in a minor league park.

#4 Not only do the A’s still have their interim location dates open for 2025 but as of today there has been no indication of when renderings and funding plans will be presented. Las Vegas MGM CEO Bill Hornbuckle said he was shown three different designs for the next door Tropicana ballpark. Hornbuckle said in an Nevada Independent interview that he would like to start construction at the MGM and wanted to get the pedestrian bridge to the Tropicana ballpark situated and he needs to be on schedule for budget and construction purposes soon.

#5 Pressure is on concerning deadlines not only with the 2025 baseball schedule for July but also when the A’s have a location figured out for 2025 and how travel and budgets can be figured out. Daniel the City of Oakland and the Oakland Coliseum Joint Authority asking for a guarantee from MLB that Oakland will get an expansion team before they can play their interim games at the Coliseum. How big of an ask is that? And do you see things getting worked out between all three parties?

#2 Sabonis almost sat this one out he was put in as a game time decision and was not feeling well but you would have never known it he wound up picking up his fourth triple double in five games.

#3 Sabonis has a double double in 38 consecutive games. Kings teammate De’Aaron Fox said that you don’t want to become numb of what Sabonis is doing that what he’s doing has been done just a few times in basketball.

#4 Fox said that at this point of the season you want wins and to get them any way you can and the Kings were able to execute down the stretch and it was a big win for Sacramento.

#5 The Kings are in Los Angeles to tip off against the Los Angeles Clippers at Crypto.com Arena Sun Feb 25th at 6:30pm PT. The Clippers are third in the Western Conference and have won six of their last ten games. They can be a handful.

Haas Pavilion, Berkeley, California

Oregon State Beavers 73 (11-16 Overall; 3-13 Pac-12)

California Golden Bears 81 (12-15 Overall; 8-8 Pac-12)

By Stephen Ruderman

The Bears have done it again, as they came back from down 11 points to beat the Oregon State Beaver, 81-73.

The Bears returned home following another epic win, this time in Seattle against the Washington Huskies. Tonight, they kicked off their final home stand of the season, as they welcomed the Oregon State Beavers to Haas Pavilion.

The Beavers won the opening tip, and turned the ball over, which allowed Keonte Kennedy to put the Bears on the board with a jumper. Jordan Pope hit a three to put Oregon State ahead, and Chol Marial followed that up with a jumper to make it 5-2.

Fardaws Aimaq drew a, and hit both from the line to make it 5-4. Tyler Bilodeau hit a jumper for Oregon State; and then Aimaq was fouled, and hit one of two.

The Beavers then took control throughout the remainder of the first half. Pope hit a jumper, and then hit a free throw after being fouled on the play to open Oregon State’s lead to 21-10 with 11:47 still remaining.

The Bears didn’t fall any further behind, and closed the gap to 29-23 following a jumper by Jaylomn Tyson and a three by Kennedy. However, the Beavers retained control and were very quickly back out to a 34-23 lead.

The Bears kept up the fight, as an Aimaq three made it 38-31 with 2:53 left, and a Tyson three to make it 40-34 with 1:25 left. Dexter Akanno hit a three with 53 seconds left to make it 43-34, and that score would hold going into the half.

Marial drew a foul for the Beavers, and hit both from the line to start the second half, which put Oregon State back up by 11 at 45-34. The Bears were once again down double digits in the second half, and that only meant one thing: It was time for another comeback.

There the Bears went, as they chipped away at the Beavers’ lead with an 8-2 run. Jalen Cone hit a three; Aimaq was fouled, and hit two from the line; and Kennedy sank a three. Suddenly, it was 47-42.

Jordan Pope hit a jumper; was fouled on the play; and hit his shot from the line to make it 50-42, but the Bears didn’t let up, especially Jalen Celestine. Celestine was fouled, and hit two from the line. Then he stole the ball from Akanno on back-to-back Beavers’ possessions, and threw down dunks both times. Now, it was just a two-point game at 50-48 with 15:02 still remaining.

However, as quickly as the Bears got right back into it and made it a two-point game, the Beavers jumped back out to a nine-point lead just as quickly with seven unanswered points. That drive featured a three from Michael Rataj, a layup by KC Ibekwe and a jumper by Pope.

Cone hit a three, and Rataj responded with a jumper to make it 59-51. The Bears were down by eight with 11:51 to go, but that would be no problem at all. Grant Newell hit a three; Aimaq laid one in; and Cone hit a three, as it took the Bears just a minute and 38 seconds to come back and tie it.

The teams remained neck and neck, but a jumper by Pope, and a three by Tyler Bilodeau put the Beavers back up by five at 71-66 with 5:37 to go, but again, no problem for the Bears. Celestine hit a three; and Cone was fouled, and sent to the line, where he hit both shots to tie the game.

Celestine then hit a three to put the Bears ahead, 74-71, with 3:26 to go, and Cal took control from there. Cone hit a three to make it 77-71, and the Beavers’ offense was stymied the rest of the way. The final couple of minutes were fairly quiet, and the Bears won it, 81-73.

Just another comeback win for the Bears, who are back up to .500 in conference play at 8-8, and improve to 12-15 overall. Now, the Oregon Ducks will come into Haas Pavilion Saturday for the final home game of the season. Tipoff will be at 4 p.m.

STANFORD, Calif. — The Stanford Cardinal (12-14, 7-9 Pac-12) were unable to contain the Oregon Ducks (18-8, 10-5 Pac-12), 78-65, in a late Thursday Night game inside Maples Pavilion.

Stanford senior forward Brandon Angel got the game started off with his team scoring the first points of the game from the charity stripe. He converted the two free throws, and managed to lead his team in scoring at the half (15), although they trailed by eight, 40-32.

Oregon made several runs in the first half, including a 5-0 one after Angel’s FTs, and a 10-0 one that put space between them and the Cardinal. Redshirt Junior guard Jadrian Tracey led all players (16) in scoring at recess.

Despite three lead changes and three ties, the Ducks were able to fly away to nearly a double digit advantage at the midway point of the contest.

Oregon opened the second half on a 5-0 run, putting the feathered visitors up by double-digits (13). That lead was further extended to a high of 17 points (60-43), with nearly 12 1/2 minutes left in the game, and again (74-57) nine minutes later.

Stanford’s noble attempts were combatted several times with daggers by the birds from the Beaver State. The Final margin after 40 minutes of play, was 13 points. 78-65, Oregon Ducks, despite being the underdog by the astute oddsmakers.

Stanford had two hoopers reach 10+ points. Angel dropped 21 points with 6 rebounds, and Spencer Jones had 14 points, in addition to 5 rebounds.

Oregon presented three players with double-figure tallies. Tracey finished with 20 points and 5 rebounds. Jackson Shelstad offered 19 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds. N’Faly added 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Stanford is next in action, Saturday, February 24, hosting the Oregon State Beavers at 2 PM PDT on P12NET. Oregon crosses the Bay to take on California, on the same date, but at 4 PM PDT also on the Pac-12 Network.

Kings Reign Supreme: Sabonis’ Heroics Propel Sacramento Past Spurs 127-122

By Mauricio Segura

SACRAMENTO–In a showdown that resulted in a“ Light The Beam” winning chant, The Sacramento Kings defeated the San Antonio Spurs 127-122 with an electrifying final seconds surge. Despite grappling with illness and missing practice, Domantas Sabonis, defied the odds by clinching his 19th triple-double, cementing his stature as a dominant force on the court.

Sabonis’ tenacity, combined with De’Aaron Fox’s explosive 28-point performance, propelled the Kings to a hard-earned home victory.

This marked Sabonis’ fourth triple-double in five games, showcasing his unwavering determination and exceptional skills. Additionally, Sabonis extended his streak of double-doubles to an impressive 38 consecutive games, further highlighting his pivotal role in the Kings’ success.

Contributions from Kevin Huerter and Malik Monk, who each added 21 points, bolstered Sacramento’s momentum, leaving the Spurs struggling to keep pace.

Nevertheless, the Spurs had their standout performers too. Devin Vassell led San Antonio with a 32-point performance and six assists.

Despite Vassell’s remarkable display, Victor Wembanyama’s valiant effort, registering 19 points, 13 rebounds, five steals, and four blocks, fell short in the winding seconds of the game. Keldon Johnson also made a significant impact with 18 points, 12 of which came during a spirited fourth-quarter surge.

The game was characterized by momentum swings, with the Kings taking control in the second quarter, outscoring the Spurs 35-25 to establish a halftime lead. Though the Spurs briefly seized the lead in the third quarter, the Kings displayed dominance, embarking on a decisive 9-0 run to seal the win.

Despite shooting an impressive 56% from the field, the Kings recognized the importance of executing crucial plays during clutch moments, a sentiment echoed by Fox, who stressed the significance during his post-game talk, of securing victories as the season progresses.

The most exciting time of the NBA season is shortly approaching, where each game assumes greater significance, with teams vying for playoff contention. For the Kings, their triumph over the Spurs underscores their determination and sets the stage for an enthralling run toward the postseason.

The Golden State Warriors (28-26), playing their first game after the All-Star break, hosted the Los Angeles Lakers (30-27) Thursday night at the Chase Center. The Lakers’ LeBron James would not be in the lineup due to an ankle injury. The Warriors would come away with a 128-110 win at Chase Center in San Francisco led by the Warriors guard Stephen Curry with 32 points.

The Warriors still had to deal with the Lakers’ Anthony Davis. Davis has been a force on defense for the Lakers this year. The Warriors knew they had to have good ball movement to thwart Davis trying to protect the rim against the Warriors potent offense.

The Warriors wanted to avenge the one-point loss to the Lakers on January 27th. The Akers won a double-overtime thriller 145-144. In that game, the Lakers won at the free-throw line. The Lakers had 43 free throws, and the Warriors had 16. The Lakers made 36, and the Warriors 11.

The Warriors’ head coach, Steve Kerr, told his team they must stop committing fouls and turning the ball over. The Warriors did what Kerr wanted. The Lakers had 21 free throws in the game. They made 14. The Warriors had eight turnovers in the first half but only one in the second half. The Warriors played well on both ends of the court as they cruised to victory. It was the Warriors’ ninth win in their last eleven games. 

The Warriors started the game running up and down the court. Warriors guard Curry tallied 16 points and connected on four threes in the first period. The Lakers’ Davis provided the offense for LA. The Warriors won the quarter 31-28.

The Lakers took the lead early in the second period. Neither team could pull away. The Lakers led 50-49 when the momentum shifted to the Warriors. Jonathan Kuminga knocked down a three to give the Warriors a 52-51 lead. Andrew Wiggins and Brandin Podziemski each hit a three, and the Warriors led by six, 57-51.

Curry made a three and a two-pointer to up the lead to 65-54. Wiggins scored a bucket as the buzzer sounded to put the Warriors ahead, 67-54, at the end of the first half. Curry led the team with 25 points. It was the second-highest point in the first half for Curry in his career.

Trace Jackson-Davis was the scoring story in the second quarter. Coming off the bench, Jackson-Davis recorded 13 points to help the Warriors have the lead at the end of the first half. Davis paced the Lakers with 15 points.

The Warriors continued to play well in the second half. The Warriors increased the lead to 17, 86-69. The Lakers made a 7-0 run to trail by nine, 89-80. The Warriors did not wilt. The Warriors answered the challenge and finished the third quarter with the lead, 98-82.

The Lakers’ point guard, D’Angelo Russell, made a couple of three-pointers early in the fourth quarter. Wiggins responded by scoring nine points to kill the Lakers’ threat. The Warriors cruised to victory 128-110.

Game Notes: The Warriors won for the ninth time in their last eleven games. They are now 28-26. The Lakers dropped to 30-27. The Warriors are 1-1 with LA this season. The Warriors meet the Lakers two more times. Both games will be in LA. 

Curry led the Warriors with 32 points, eight assists, and six threes. Curry was plus 25 when he was on the court.

Wiggins had 20 points, and he connected twice from downtown. Rookie Podzienski has ten points and nine rebounds. Jackson-Davis finished the game with 17 points and five boards. Kuminga had 12. 

The Warriors shot 46.7% from the floor. They made 16 threes in 41 tries. The Warriors recorded 32 assists on 50 made baskets. They outrebounded the taller Lakers 60-51. 

Davis had a double-double with 27 points and 15 rebounds. Russell ad 18, Austin Reaves 16, and Taurean Prince 12. The Warriors held Rui Hachimura to eight points. Hachimura has killed the Warriors many times over the last two years. The Warriors made sure Hachimura was not a factor Thursday night.

The Warriors play again Friday night. The Warriors will host the Charlotte Hornets at the Chase Center. The game will start at 7 pm.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary: City of Oakland wants an Expansion team

City of Oakland wants an Expansion team 

By Amaury Pi Gonzalez

The season for the A’s begins on March 28, 2024, their last year in the lease with the Oakland Coliseum. Working on the premise that the A’s will be playing in Las Vegas by 2028, the City of Oakland and the Oakland A’s are currently negotiating (preliminary talks) to extend the lease for a few more years, possibly 2025-2026-2027—three more years until their inauguration in Sin City.

The City of Oakland wants a guarantee that if the A’s leave, as expected as of today, in return, Major League Baseball will let Oakland have an expansion team. Sheng Thao, the Mayor of Oakland (currently under a recall campaign), might save her job if she can get such a deal.

Still, it is not a sure thing since the main reason for the recall by Oakland citizens is not about the A’s but about the crime in her city and lack of security. A year after she fired the Police Chief, a new Police Chief has not been named yet.

The Oakland Athletics inauguration in Las Vegas is scheduled for 2028, but expansion teams might not come until 2029. Oakland is not seen today as a possible city for an expansion team. Oakland would have to wait in line after Nashville and Salt Lake City, the current front runners for a new franchise. Commissioner Rob Manfred said, as recently as last week, that MLB will name two expansion cities by the time he retires, according to ESPN.

Let’s suppose the A’s move and open in Las Vegas in 2028, just like they have it planned. Oakland might or might not be one of those two expansion teams until 2029, five years from today. But, since Michel de Nostredame, aka Nostradamus, died in 1566, I do not believe there is anybody today alive in ESPN, the New York Times, Associated Press, Reuters, the San Francisco Chronicle, or the Wall Street Journal qualified to predict how this is going to end.

BREAKING NEWS: Drakes Brewery, a famous San Leandro brewery, just pulled their sponsorship three days before Fans Fest. Last Dive Bar, one of the organizers wrote on Facebook. The fan group said it had incurred expenses including “sponsor banners, a digital marketing package” and “rented equipment to set up a Drakes beer both.” The Oakland A’s deny they have anything to do with this

Around and around it goes, where does its stops nobody knows”. This was one of the lines from “Major Bowes Amateur Hour” a popular radio show that ran from 1934 to 1948, later made the transition to television as “Ted Mack Original Amateur Hour” and to their credit many stars were discovered in his show, including the one and only Francis Albert Sinatra.
