of pinch runner Kolten Wong at first
SACRAMENTO, Calif. E.J. Gaines Jersey . -- It certainly wasnt an ideal way to start an important road trip. The Washington Wizards squandered an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter and eventually lost in overtime to the lowly Sacramento Kings. Isaiah Thomas had his first career triple double with 24 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists to help the Kings beat the Wizards 117-111 in overtime on Tuesday night. DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay each added 24 points for the Kings, who rallied in the fourth to send the game into overtime and simply outplayed the Wizard in the extra period to snap a two-game losing streak. Veteran centre Marcin Gortat felt the Wizards let up late in regulation and it cost them a victory. "We were up five points (with 24 seconds left) and celebrating like we had already won the game," said Gortat, who had a physical battle all game with Cousins, the Kings highly aggressive young centre. "We loosened up way too much. We got punished for being too cocky." It was a rare loss for the Wizards, who had won 10 of 13 games before falling to the Kings for the fourth straight time at Sleep Train Arena. After being quiet through three quarters, it was Gay and Cousins delivering big time for the Kings in both the fourth period and overtime. Cousins, who finished with 14 rebounds, had 12 points in the fourth quarter and opened the overtime with two quick baskets and finished with seven points in OT. Gay made numerous clutch shots late in the game and continued that trend in the fourth quarter. He had 10 points in the fourth and six more in overtime. "To turn it around, go up by 11 points and give the game away, it hurts," said Drew Gooden, who scored 18 points in a reserve role. "They executed down the stretch and we couldnt get any rebounds. DeMarcus Cousins is a load." Bradley Beal had 19 points and Gortat also had 19 points and 14 rebounds for the Wizards. They had won six of their previous seven road games. John Wall had 14 before fouling out in overtime. The loss prevented Washington from moving within a game of Chicago, which has the fourth best record in the Eastern Conference. The Wizards (35-32) drop to sixth in the East, one percentage point behind Brooklyn (34-31). "Give (Washington coach) Randy Wittman and that team a lot of credit. They are one of the surprising teams in the Eastern Conference and they are trying to get a home-court advantage in the first round," Kings coach Michael Malone said. Gay broke a tie with a jumper and Thomas made a pair of free throws to give Sacramento a 115-111 lead with 13 seconds left. Thomas clinched the victory with two free throws in the closing seconds. Thomas, a 5-foot-9 guard who was a second-round draft pick three years ago, became the Kings starting point guard early this season and has responded by scoring 20 or more points 42 times this season. The triple-double was the first for Sacramento since Cousins had had one against New York on Dec. 28, 2012. "That was big and its great for Isaiah," Gay said. "Im proud of him for the fact that he effected the game in every successful category today. Size doesnt matter. He plays with fire." Trailing by five points in overtime, Ariza hit a 3, Wall converted on a fastbreak layup and Beal made a 3-pointer, giving Washington a 109-107 lead. But consecutive baskets by Cousins and Gay put the Kings ahead by two with 1:01 left. Beal made both free throws to put the Wizards in front 100-95. But a Thomas three and a running shot along the baseline by Gay tied the game at 100 with 5.6 seconds remaining. Beal missed a jumper in the final seconds. Washington started the fourth quarter with eight straight points to take an 81-70 lead. Cousins helped bring the Kings back, scoring eight consecutive points, the final two on a dunk that cut the Washington lead to 86-81 midway through the fourth. NOTES: The Washington starters shot 5 of 20 in the opening quarter and the Wizards trailed 30-19. ... Prior the game, the Kings signed Royce White to a second 10-day contact. He was not activated for the game. White, who was drafted by Houston in 2012, has been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and has never played an NBA game. ... Webster had a four-point play late in the third quarter. ... The Kings are 4-2 in overtime games this season, while the Wizards are 4-7. Austin Corbett Browns Jersey . Perez, 35, posted a 1-2 record with a 3.69 earned-run average in 19 relief appearances last season. His season ended Aug. 9 due to a torn ligament in his left elbow. Perez joins infielder Andy LaRoche and catcher Mike Nickeas with minor-league agreements for 2014 that include invitations to attend spring training. Jarvis Landry Browns Jersey . Selected by the Titans in the 2007 NFL Draft, Johnson rejoined the club last season after a five-year stint with Indianapolis. http://www.brownsauthenticproshop.com/Youth-Zane-Gonzalez-Jersey/ . -- Arkansas didnt need a spectacular dunk to beat No.ST. LOUIS - This World Series, like many before it, is chock full of fun storylines. Theres David Ortiz, hitting .667 with two home runs and four walks in 16 plate appearances. If the Red Sox win this thing, hes surely the MVP of this Fall Classic. How about the Cardinals Allen Craig, hobbling around on essentially one foot and having not played a game since his injury, returning for the Series and immediately shaking off the rust to the tune of four hits in eight at-bats? He also scored a big run in Game 3, if memory serves. St. Louis Carlos Beltran deserves credit for gutting through a rib injury suffered while making a heroic, over-the-wall catch to rob Ortiz of a grand slam in opener. Bostons Felix Doubront, with 4 2/3 innings of one run ball split over two nights, has served as a credible bridge between the Red Sox starters and late relievers. But what is standing out, like the proverbial sore thumb, are the mistakes being made at crucial times in games. "We saw things that didnt quite look right but, once again, this is a game that has humans involved and there are going to be errors," said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny. "Its just going to happen and weve got to figure out how to minimize them as much as we can and get ahead of them." Red Sox manager John Farrell prefers to look ahead. "Theres been a lot of uniqueness to this entire postseason, not just this series," said Farrell. "When you consider how closely games have been played, whether its been Divisional Series in both leagues, Championship Series in both leagues, I cant imagine Major League Baseball wanting anything more than whats taken place on the field." Pete Kozma had a first game to forget. He dropped a Matt Carpenter throw to start a would-be inning ending double play, resulting in a bases loaded, one out situation for the Red Sox. Boston would score three times in that first inning. Kozma hadnt settled down by the second. With two on and one out, he couldnt corral a Shane Victorino chopper, again resulting in a bases loaded situation for thhe Red Sox. Denzel Ward Jersey. . Boston would score twice more, lead 5-0 after two innings and would go on to win 8-1. The shoe was on the other foot in Game 2. The Red Sox led 2-1 in the seventh when the Cardinals Matt Carpenter hit a bases loaded sacrifice fly to left field to bring home the tying run. Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia couldnt handle the throw from left fielder Jonny Gomes and it was a good thing pitcher Craig Breslow was backing up. A good thing, until Breslow tried to throw out base runner Jon Jay trying for third. He hurled the ball into left field, Jay scored the go-ahead run and St. Louis went on to win the game 4-2. Game 3 ended with an obstruction call against Boston third baseman Will Middlebrooks. It was Saltalamacchias errant throw during the play, however, which created the awkward situation between Middlebrooks and base runner Craig. Provoking eerie memories of Breslow two nights before, Saltalamacchia attempted to throw Craig out at third after he tagged out Yadier Molina trying to score. It was another ill-advised mistake and St. Louis took the series lead with a 5-4 win. Then, in Game 4, while it wasnt the reason the Cardinals lost, Boston closer Koji Ueharas pick-off of pinch runner Kolten Wong at first base for the final out was stunning. At the very least, the play took the bat out of Carlos Beltrans hands; he was up as the potential tying run in a 4-2 game. The strategies of both managers, too, have come into question, particularly Farrells in Game 3 and Mathenys in Game 4. Playing under National League rules, with the increased usage of bench players, pinch hit scenarios and defensive replacements via double switches, opens the door to greater scrutiny. For both teams, there can be no looking back. Down to a best of three, the club which wins the required two likely will be the one that makes the fewer number of mistakes. Sloppiness will be costly. "It hasnt been typical for our style of play," said Matheny. "But were still figuring out a way to get past it and getting ready for the next one."
