                                      SACRAMENTO, Calif. Wholesale Adidas NHL Jerseys . -- Although DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay were once again the primary weapons for Sacramento, the Kings displayed their depth in beating the winless New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.Cousins had 11 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter and Gay finished with 21 points for the Kings, who never trailed in defeating the Pelicans 102-94.Aaron Afflalo added 15 points and made a huge four-point play in the fourth quarter for the Kings. The return of suspended point guard Darren Collison was also a factor in the victory, along with a bench that contributed great energy and 32 points.Afflalo is still assimilating offensively, but looked more confident, getting open for 3s and posting up. He made all three shots in the first half and finished 5 of 6.He was fantastic, Kings coach Dave Joerger said. If Im him, Im thinking -- `If Coach would have called more plays for me I would had had 30 points. He had 15 points on six shots, thats pretty efficient.It was the second straight victory for the Kings (4-5), who were 1-7 in their first eight games last season. The Kings are 2-1 at home this season and this was the first in a string of seven of eight home games.Thats one of our main goals this year, take care of home court, Afflalo said.Anthony Davis had 34 points, eight rebounds and four blocks for the Pelicans, who have started the season with eight straight losses, matching the 2004-05 team for the worst start in franchise history. Rookie guard Buddy Hield had 12 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter and ETwaun Moore added 13.Its been a miserable start to the season for New Orleans, which is without three starters -- Jrue Holiday (personal reasons), Tyreke Evans (right knee) and Quincy Poindexter (left knee).We just have to play better. Theres just no way of getting around it, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said. The effort is good and I talked to the guys about the fact that I love the way we are playing hard. But we all have to play smart. In some cases we are not playing smart.After Hield scored six straight points to pull the Pelicans within five, Afflalo hit a 3 and was fouled. He made the free throw, completing a four-point play and giving the Kings a 97-88 lead with 45 seconds left.For me, Im still trying to adjust to how to be efficient, and not get frustrated with a lack of rhythm and just play through it, Afflalo said. I dont come into a game with expectations. It depends on the situation regarding how much I shoot.Despite 14 points from Davis, the Pelicans could not cut into the Kings lead and still trailed 76-70 entering the fourth.Im not use to this at all. But its a long season, Hield said. We just have to stay confident. Were 0-8 right now, but were going to find a way and we are going to break through this. We have a lot of games left. All we need is a win to build our confidence up.Collison, who entered the game late in the opening quarter, had nine points in his first game this season. He missed the first eight games, serving a suspension for a domestic violence incident in the summer.After an unproductive first half, Collison picked up his offense in the third quarter when he scored seven points and helped the Kings maintain their lead. He finished with four assists and two steals in 27 minutes.I think the best part of the day was earlier this morning, Collison said. I came into the locker room and my teammates were waiting and started cheering. That made me feel real good and the fans embraced me. It felt really good to be out there and be with my teammates.TIP-INSPelicans: Due to a foul that put them over the limit and wasnt noticed, the final 18.9 seconds of the first half were replayed after intermission.

England v Pakistan, 1992Pakistan 2, England 1 Only DRS and Twitter could have made this series any more explosive and entertaining than it was. Pakistan distilled the essence of an entire existence through the five Tests: rowdily led, obscenely gifted, as likely to implode as explode upon the opposition. The headline theme was Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis reverse swing, which perforated an obdurate England side led by the obdurate Graham Gooch. The close finish in the second Test at Lords was the highlight, but there was enough in every other Test to merit a book: umpiring dust-ups, tabloid hounding, player antipathy and revenge (for Englands World Cup final loss earlier that year). It only warrants a footnote that it was thought to be the most lucrative series in England until then.Australia v West Indies, 1992-93West Indies 2, Australia 1 There was one great Test in this series, of course, the fourth, in Adelaide, which West Indies won by one run. But there was so much else besides - primarily that the contest happened at just the right moment, one team on the way down meeting another on the way up. West Indies took it but Australias dominance over the first half was a rehearsal for their wresting of the crown in the Caribbean a couple of years later. The series turned, fittingly, on the arrival of Brian Lara and his resounding 277 in the New Years Test in Sydney. Shane Warne, not as loudly, was also arriving, but looming over a starry cast was the moody brilliance of Curtly Ambrose, the man most responsible for West Indies win. As Tim May put it: He was hunting us down.England v South Africa, 1998 England 2, South Africa 1 A stupendous heist or a long drawn-out choke? Either way, Englands win merely made a great series more dramatic. South Africa were not the best side in the world and were already thought of as rigid automatons. Yet only Australia were definitively better. England? At best they were less bad than they had been for a while. They were made to follow on in two successive Tests and could conceivably have lost every one of the five. For the manner of their triumph, it was apt that Mike Atherton was the leading scorer from either side, dragging England away from lost causes to improbable non-defeats. The leading wicket-taker was Allan Donald, and it was the electriic duel between the two at Trent Bridge that formed the centrepiece of a classic. Stitched Hockey Jerseys. The umpiring, Javed Akhtars, notoriously, was bad enough to spice it further; so bad that the next summer, technology would embed itself in adjudication. England v West Indies, 2000England 3, West Indies 1 Any of three successive West Indian visits to England, in 1991, 1995 and 2000, could be picked. The last wins out for just how cockamamie crazy it was. West Indies were in fatal decline. They had not won a Test outside the Caribbean since February 1997 and had lost ten consecutively away from home. At Edgbaston they won by an innings, inside three days. Once they lost the next, a thrilling match at Lords, they imploded spectacularly. Darren Gough, Andy Caddick, Craig White and Dominic Cork made for an eccentric yet effective attack. Caddick took four wickets in one mental over at Headingley, where West Indies 61 was not even their lowest total of the series. The Test lasted two days. By the time they rocked home at The Oval, England had imbued history to proceedings, securing the Wisden Trophy for the first time in 27 years. It was not the best cricket but it was unmissable.South Africa v England, 2004-05England 2, South Africa 1 The last great non-Ashes five-Test series was the last genuine one (Englands tour to the Caribbean in 2009 only became five Tests after one was abandoned). Michael Vaughans alchemy had forged a formidable England side, now slap-bang in the middle of a golden phase. South Africa were in transition, debuting both Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers. But they were at home, where, since readmission, they had lost only two of 20 series, and those to Australia. It was genuinely impossible to pick a winner. That England eventually scraped through had much to do with Andrew Strauss and the pace attack, which, even with a misfiring Steve Harmison, had developed into a wonderfully varied and incisive one. It was the least celebrated of them, Matthew Hoggard, who played the decisive hand late in the series, in the fourth Test at the Wanderers. His 12 wickets, seven expertly swung out on the final day, saw England home with barely any time to spare. ' ' '
