Subject :SACRAMENTO, Calif. [url=http://www.footballramsshop.us/authentic-john-johnson-rams-jersey/]John John
SACRAMENTO, Calif. John Johnson Youth Jersey . -- For one night at least, the Utah Jazz bore no resemblance to a team with the NBAs worst record. Richard Jefferson scored 20 points and the Jazz had five players in double figures to halt a four-game skid, defeating the Sacramento Kings 122-101 Wednesday night for their largest margin of victory this season. The Jazz (5-20), who had never led by more than 19 points this season, never trailed and were ahead by 24 after three quarters and stretched the lead to 28 in the fourth. They also established a season-high with 35 assists and had a season-low six turnovers against a Kings team playing without the three players it acquired from Toronto in a seven-player trade on Monday. "Weve lost a lot of close games this year, especially early in the season when we had as many as four players out," said Utahs Gordon Hayward, who had 17 points. "When we have our whole team here its a different story. This was our best game this season for sure." The return of Derrick Favours and Marvin Williams to the starting lineup certainly helped. Favours (sore lower back) and Williams (sore right heel) each missed Saturdays bitter home loss when the Kings rallied in the fourth quarter and won in overtime. "That was in our minds right from the tip off. We owed those guys," Hayward said. Favours had 17 points, seven rebounds and three blocks for Utah, which shot 54 per cent and scored over 100 points for only the sixth time this season. The Jazz were 13 of 23 from 3-point range and looked good at times on the defensive end, blocking eight shots. Alec Burks had 15 points for Utah and rookie point guard Trey Burke contributed 11 points and nine assists. Jeremy Evans also had 11 points and Williams added eight points and five assists. "They didnt feel us for 1 second on the floor tonight," Kings coach Michael Malone said. "Its disappointing, but the challenge tomorrow is to get our new guys to practice and them get acclimated to us as a team." The Kings new players -- Rudy Gay, Quincy Acy and Aaron Gray -- cant play until ex-King Greivis Vasquez passes his physical, which is expected to happen Thursday. "Thats huge. Its difficult to be short-handed in this league," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. "They are skill guys who are going to help them." DeMarcus Cousins had 17 of his 21 points in the second half and added 11 rebounds for the Kings, who had their modest two-game winning streak snapped. Cousins had two early fouls in the opening quarter and surprisingly didnt play again in the first half when he logged just seven minutes. Isaiah Thomas had 20 points and seven assists for Sacramento, which has played 14 of its first 20 games at home this season, going 4-10. Jimmer Fredette and Derrick Williams each had 13 points, while both Marcus Thornton and Jason Thompson added 11. Jefferson scored 13 points and Hayward had 11 in the third quarter when Utah thoroughly outplayed the Kings. The Jazz hit six 3-pointers and outscored the Kings 38-26 to take a 96-72 lead going into the fourth. Jefferson connected on three 3-pointers in the third quarter, the second giving Utah a 79-59 lead at the 6:25 mark. "We were a little crisper (on offence)," Corbin said. "It always looks a lot better when the ball goes in the hole. Guys feed off that." The Jazz ran their offence effectively in the opening half when they shot 58 per cent and had 19 assists. Favor and Enes Kantor both had eight points for Utah, took a 58-46 lead into the break. NOTES: Malone got a technical foul in the third quarter following a no-call against Cousins. . The Jazz played the first game in a stretch that has them on the road for seven of eight. . A fan favourite, Fredette had nine of his season-high 13 points in the fourth quarter. . Utah improved to 2-10 on the road. John Johnson Rams Jersey . Alen, 28, hit .315 with five home runs, 59 RBI and a career-high nine stolen bases for the Goldeyes last season. He is the longest serving catcher in Goldeyes history, having already spent five seasons with the organization. Gerald Everett Youth Jersey . When a game is in the balance, however, they still have the personnel and the experience to end up with the two points. http://www.footballramsshop.us/authentic-samson-ebukam-rams-jersey/ . Louis and Ryan Kesler have demanded to be traded.SEATTLE - Washington Nationals manager Matt Williams believes the most important start of Stephen Strasburgs season came on Saturday night. It also might have been the most impressive. Backed by Jayson Werths early home run, Strasburg pitched the Nationals past the Seattle Mariners 3-1 to widen their NL East lead to seven games over Atlanta. Washington has won 11 straight against the Mariners, the longest current streak for one major league team against another. Strasburg (11-10) went 7 2-3 innings and struck out eight, increasing his NL-best total to 210. The right-hander also broke the Nationals single-season record of 207 set by Gio Gonzalez two years ago. "Just the fact that he had two good ones and then a little bit of a clunker, and tonight to come back and answer, for him is important," Williams said. "For him, its just that if he throws it where he wants to, he can be dominant out there. Tonight he was really, really good." The right-handers fastball sat consistently in the mid-90s (mph), but it was his changeup that befuddled the Mariners. Seattle finally got to Strasburg in the eighth when Dustin Ackley cleared the right-field fence with his 10th home run of the season. Ackley was drafted No. 2 overall in 2009 — directly behind the Washington phenom. Matt Thornton came on to close out the inning, and Rafael Soriano worked around two ninth-inning singles for his 30th save in 35 attempts. "He was tough on us tonight," Mariners interim manager Trent Jewett said of Strasburg. "We contributed to that some. He was good. He got the win. He deserved it." Werth gave the Nationals an early lead with a two-run homer in the first off Roenis Elias, who got the ball aftter Chris Young was pushed back to Monday. Cooper Kupp Rams Jersey. Elias (9-12) recovered to last six innings for the first time since June 28. He allowed three runs — two earned — and six hits. Seattle threatened in the ninth when Kyle Seager and Endy Chavez singled, but Soriano retired James Jones on a game-ending grounder. Anthony Rendon had an RBI single in the fifth for the Nationals. Strasburg pitched out of trouble on multiple occasions. In the third, he left runners on second and third by throwing a called third strike past Robinson Cano for his first strikeout. Strasburg also stranded runners at the corners in the fifth by fanning Ackley. Strasburg, who walked none, has allowed one run in three of his past four starts. "I just stuck to the game plan. I just kept executing pitches," he said. "Let them hit my best stuff." TRAINERS ROOM Mariners: Jewett said OF Chris Denorfia (stiff neck) is a little banged up, but was available off the bench. Nationals: Despite hitting two home runs Friday, catcher Wilson Ramos did not start behind the plate. Williams said that was partly to lighten the workload for Ramos and limit the wear and tear on him. Ramos was the DH. UP NEXT Mariners RHP Hisashi Iwakuma tries to bounce back in the series finale Sunday after allowing five runs over 2 1-3 innings at Boston in his most recent start. Nationals RHP Tanner Roark looks to allow three runs or fewer for the fifth straight start. UNDER PRESSURE Elias has allowed his fair share of baserunners, including 12 walks in his last three starts, but has been adept at finding a way out of jams. The left-hander has induced a team-leading 20 double plays, including two on Saturday.
