Mavs hold off Kings 102-100

The Sacramento Kings hosted the streaking Dallas Mavericks, who were riding a 10-game winning streak going into Wednesday night's game. The Kings fought valiantly to erase an 11-point deficit, but Jason Terry and José Barea helped spark the Mavs to an 11th straight victory, beating the Kings 102-100. Terry stepped up off the bench in the wake of Dirk Nowitzki’s poor shooting night by scoring a game-high 20 points. Barea, who averages nine points per game from the bench, scored 15 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter to help hold off the Kings. “He’s one of the quickest players in the league,” Kings coach Paul Westphal said of Barea. “He can shoot. They set a lot of screens for him. He

Conversation about: Kings draft DeMarcus Cousins

The Kings did a great job the past 8 days upgrading the frontcourt. The team went from having Spencer Hawes as its only true center to trading him for a proven defender in Dalembert and drafting Cousins and Whiteside. Add Landry, JT and Brockman, the frontcourt could be very good next season.

Hawes showcased his potential as a shooter, passer and rebounder his sophomore season. I think the main thing he was missing this season was heart this season. He's has very advanced post moves and I hope he pans out in the league.

Conversation about: River Cats Trump Aces

There's absolutely nothing like seeing a baseball manager getting ejected. Haven't seen one live but I did see a Oklahoma Redhawks player get ejected near the end of Game 4 of the 2008 PCL Championship, the night the River Cats took the series.
