(SportsNetwork.com) - The Sacramento Kings will hope to keep a recent run of great basketball going Monday night when they head to the Pepsi Center to face the Denver Nuggets. The Kings have won two in a row and the victories came over some impressive teams. Sacramento dispatched the Portland Trail Blazers at home on Friday, then bested the Los Angeles Clippers, 98-92, Sunday afternoon at the Staples Center. It feels good to come in here and get a win. This is definitely a confidence booster, point guard Darren Collison said. DeMarcus Cousins had 34 points, 17 rebounds and three blocks in the win. Rudy Gay added 25 points, seven boards and six assists for the Kings, who fell to Golden State in their opener. Darren Collison tallied 14 points and no other Sacramento player scored in double figures. The Kings shot 50 percent from the field and held the mighty Clippers offense to 37.5 field-goal shooting and 29 percent from beyond the 3-point line. The Nuggets began the season with a home victory over the Detroit Pistons, but fell Saturday night to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 102-91, at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Denver showed some fight in the loss against OKC. The Nuggets trailed by 26 at one point, but cut the deficit to just three points. Serge Ibaka and Perry Jones both nailed 3-pointers that ended Denvers hopes. We didnt execute the way we wanted to, point guard Ty Lawson said of the slow start. We didnt come to play. Lawson netted 14 of his 25 points in the final quarter, but it was too little, too late for the visitors. Arron Afflalo scored 14 and Timofey Mozgov chipped in 10 points. In stark contrast to a Thunder team that featured eight healthy players due to not just injuries to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, but almost every two guard on the roster, the Nuggets saw 10 players get at least 13 minutes of game action. All 11 players who checked in, scored for Denver, but only managed 28 points. These two teams will meet Wednesday night in Sacramento. The Nuggets are 11-3 in their last 14 meetings with the Kings, although Sacramento did win two of three during the 2013-14 season. When the Kings won at the Pepsi Center on Feb. 23, it snapped a nine-game series road losing streak. Mike Wagner Womens Jersey .

The announcement was made at the world mens curling championship at Capital Indoor Stadium in China.BEIJING, China - After a roller-coaster NBA career, Stephon Marbury has found peace in basketball-crazed China. The two-time all-star is thriving on the court with the Beijing Ducks while becoming one with his adopted hometown away from basketball.He is so entrenched, he wants to one day coach Chinas national team.I plan on living here for the rest of my life, the 37-year-old point guard and Brooklyn native said in an interview in the lobby of his plush apartment building in the heart of Beijing. I think they respect me enough to be able to give me the opportunity.China is a world away from Marburys life in the U.S., where he endured a string of disappointing stints with several NBA teams. But he has found his groove in Beijing, leading the Ducks to two Chinese Basketball Association championships. He is an unrivaled fan favourite and the teams on-court leader — the organization has even erected a statue of him in front of its arena.Marbury has capitalized on the opportunities China offers to foreign basketball players and other athletes capable of adjusting to the considerable cultural, linguistic and culinary challenges of life in the rising Asian power. Already dominant at the Olympics and Asian Games, the worlds second largest economy is now undergoing a boom in professional sports stoked by foreign coaches and players.I dont make nowhere near the money that I made when I was playing in the NBA, Marbury said, but Im way happier, so I mean, what is that to say?A big part of Marburys Chinese appeal has been his willingness to embrace local culture and make himself accessible to fans.He rides the Beijing subway with a backpack and headphones, posing for photos with people he meets along the way. He dines at local eateries, and digs into the same simple meals as his Chinese teammates.Marbury has been a vocal supporter of Guoan, Beijings beloved local football team, and studied the graceful martial art of tai chi. He even took a stab at learning Chinese before a knee surgery threw him off his lessons.Hes also active on Weibo, the ubiquitous Chinese version of Twitter. A typical post: Good morning China! Live in the moment with pure loving intentions to all. Love is Love!!!He wrote a column — Starbury News — in the China Daily newspaper, and if he had any negative feelings about China, he kept them to himself.Marbury was seen as a loner in America, but hes completely changed his image here in China. Hes shown huge interest helping both his team and young people generally, said veteran Chinese sportscaster Xu Jicheng.Basketball is already hugely popular in China, as is American music and fashion. Urban courts are filled with youngsters showing off their moves, while hip-hop fashions are a favourite of those born in the 1980s and 90s.Fans have also connected with Marbury.When he scores for the Ducks, each basket is celebrated by an MC and echoed by fans at the arena operated by the teams sponsor, Capittal Iron and Steel, in Beijings far western suburbs.dddddddddddd Marbury can still score, he had a 46-point game in a one-point loss to the Xinjiang Flying Tigers.Its not exactly Madison Square Garden, but crowds at the Shougang Basketball Center are enthusiastic. Songs by Sugar Hill Gang and other hip hop classics play over the PA — with Marbury at the centre of it all.Marbury is why we come to these games. Hes the one whos really made them play like they never played before, said Ricky Chen, a 26-year-old Beijing office worker who endured a two-hour trip on the subway to catch a game with his girlfriend.A college standout at Georgia Tech, Marbury was a first-round pick in the 1996 NBA draft by Milwaukee, but traded to Minnesota. He also played for New Jersey and Phoenix before joining the New York Knicks amid high expectations that were never realized. His last stop in the NBA was with Boston in 2009.With his NBA options becoming limited, Marbury decided in 2010 to head for China in hopes of jump-starting his career.That leap of faith landed him initially in gritty Taiyuan in Chinas northern coal country. A contract dispute with the Brave Dragons soon left him high and dry, although Marbury said he never considered heading home.I was, like, if I go back to America Im going to get killed by the media. Im done. This is it. My career is done, my life is over with, Marbury said.Salvation came in the form of the Foshan Dragons in the industrial south.Along the way, he has relaunched his Starbury sportswear brand, whose logo is tattooed on his shaved head. This fall he was featured in a live musical production using his China experience as an allegory for overcoming hardship.Marbury is one of dozens of foreign players in the CBA, which allows teams to play two non-Chinese players at a time for a total of six quarters per game. Some have found the success that eluded them in the U.S., such as former NBA journeyman Lester Hudson, the CBAs MVP last season, and Jamaal Franklin, a former second-round draft pick of the Memphis Grizzlies, the leagues leading scorer this season.Other NBA All-Stars have given China a shot — including Metta World Peace, Tracy McGrady and Gilbert Arenas, with varying degrees of success.But none embraced the country in the way Marbury has.It makes him one of the few CBA foreigners that arent likely to be painted as mercenaries, said Andrew Crawford, whose website, Shark Fin Hoops, covers Chinese basketball. Hes the first foreigner in the CBA to make a huge and sustained deal out of how much he likes being in Beijing, and that means a lot.Marbury believes he can play another two or three years but no matter what happens on the court — or with his coaching ambitions — he plans to keep China at the centre of his life and career.I am forever indebted to this country for them helping change my life and my basketball career, and how Im viewed in the world of basketball.
