NEW YORK -- A happy homecoming for Jimmer Fredette and Michael Malone was another miserable night in a turbulent season for the New York Knicks. Boomer Esiason Black Friday Jersey . Rudy Gay made the tying basket in regulation and a 3-pointer in overtime that gave Sacramento the lead for good, and Fredette scored a career-high 24 points to help the Kings beat the Knicks 106-101 on Wednesday night. Gay and Isaiah Thomas each finished with 20 points for the Kings, who shook off a 13-point deficit and the loss of DeMarcus Cousins late in regulation to salvage the finale of a four-game road trip. Cousins had 19 points and 14 rebounds before limping off with a strained hip flexor with about 3 1/2 minutes left. The Kings made Malone a winner in his first game as a head coach in New York, where he spent four seasons as a Knicks assistant. It was the first time his mother watched him coach an NBA game in person. "Being from New York and having my family here and this is where I started in the NBA, its like a little kids dream," Malone said. "To come back here, and as a head coach, and get a win against the Knicks, it is an unbelievable moment for me, my mother, my father and my family." Carmelo Anthony had 36 points and 11 rebounds for the Knicks but flopped at the finish, missing a potential winning shot in regulation before blowing a layup on the first possession of overtime. Playing 48 minutes, he was scoreless in the extra session. Gay followed Anthonys missed layup with his 3-pointer, Derrick Williams added a basket that pushed it to 98-93 with 2:28 left, and the Knicks never really had a chance to catch up from there. New York finished the first half at 20-32. The reigning Atlantic Division champions have already lost more games than all of last season and continue to battle injuries and speculation that coach Mike Woodsons job is in jeopardy. "I didnt expect us to be in the situation that were in right now. If somebody would have told us that before the season, Id have put any amount of money that they were lying," Anthony said. "But were in this situation right now and weve got to fight through it." The Knicks played without J.R. Smith, who broke a cheekbone Sunday at Oklahoma City and was uncomfortable with the protective facemask he was supposed to wear, which he didnt receive until Wednesday. Iman Shumpert then left in the second half with a strained left hip flexor. Amare Stoudemire scored 20 points off the bench and Tyson Chandler had 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Knicks in a game Anthony had called a "must-win." "We cant go back and get this game," Woodson said. "We didnt finish the game. I think we played well in spurts. We just didnt get it done." Stoudemire had three straight New York baskets midway through the fourth quarter, giving the Knicks an 87-83 advantage with 4:59 remaining. Fredette twice hit 3-pointers to make it a one-possession game, and Gay, after having a jumper go in and out, got another chance and knocked it down that time to tie it with 20 seconds to go. Anthony scored 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting as the Knicks cruised to a 33-22 lead after one, hitting 70 per cent of their shots. But Fredette, the college scoring star from BYU whose pro career has been largely underwhelming, answered back with 15 points in the second, matching his high for a game this season. "It was a lot of fun," said Fredette, a native of Glens Falls. "You dream about this, growing up not too far from here, and this is the best arena in the world. It was an amazing experience tonight. But I was just happy we got this win and go into the All-Star break on a high note." New York built a 54-48 halftime lead on 57.5 per cent shooting, but was just 7 of 23 (30 per cent) in the third quarter, with the Kings cutting it to 74-72 entering the fourth. NOTES: Smith didnt want to play without the mask for fear of further injury, acknowledging his choice to sit out was a "somewhat selfish decision." He said he will have to wear the mask for a few weeks and hopes to get it adjusted before play resumes next week. ... Malone worked for four different head coaches in New York. ... The Knicks honoured Hall of Famer Bernard King, who held the franchises single-game scoring record with 60 points until Anthony broke it with 62 last month against Charlotte. New Orleans Saints Hats Black Friday .J. Watson to back up Deron Williams at point guard. Houston Texans Black Friday Jersey . He was 72.

"Im very happy to help the team," the Swiss youth international said. "It was a good start."

Terrance West Cyber Monday Jersey . Clevelands all-star point guard hit a three with 0.9 seconds left as part of a 32-point performance, and the Cavaliers edged the Raptors 99-98 on Saturday. "Kyrie threw up a bomb, he made a hell of a shot," Torontos Amir Johnson said. PITTSBURGH -- Tampa Bay Lightning coach Guy Boucher was convinced it was just a matter of time before Steven Stamkos became a dynamic offensive force in the NHL playoffs. His post-season coming-out party came just in time to keep the Lightning alive in their first-round playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Stamkos scored his first two NHL playoff goals and the Lightning emphatically avoided elimination with an 8-2 victory over the Penguins on Saturday in Game 5 of the first-round series. "This kid has figured out what the playoffs are all about," Boucher said. "I knew at some point he would because hes got character. I was just hoping it was this year." The Penguins, who lead the series 3-2, will get a second chance to advance Monday night at Tampa Bay. Stamkos 96 goals over the past two seasons led the NHL, but he had only one assist over the first four games of the series. He had three points on Saturday, two days after being held without a shot in the Penguins 3-2 double-overtime victory in Game 4. Stamkos, who had 21 goals in his first 22 games this season, had only four goals in his past 26 games, dating to the regular season. "Im really happy for Stamkos because the last game I thought he played a great game," Boucher said. "It just didnt pay off for him, and today it paid off. Like I always say, take care of the process and the results will come. "He was a major warrior in this game." He wasnt the only one. Simon Gagne and Pavel Kubina both scored their first two goals of the series, captain Vincent Lecavalier added his second, and Dominic Moore also scored late for the Lightning, who set a franchise record for goals in a road playoff game and handed the Penguins their worst home post-season loss. Dwayne Roloson made 31 saves, including several impressive stops in the opening minutes when Pittsburgh controlled play. "(Roloson) was good for the first 17 minutes, and then their team gave them a couple there," Pittsburgh forward Pascal Dupuis said. "Things fell apart after that." Gagne and Stamkos stunned a Penguins record crowd for an indoor home game with two goals in a span of 46 seconds beginning with 3:03 left in the first. The road teams have won four consecutive games in the series, and Tampa Bays victory was the 22nd by a visiting team in 36 NHL playoff games. "I think me and the rest of the NHL coaches in the playoffs right now are all scratching their heads trying to figure out whats going on with the home teams," Boucher said. Pittsburghs Mike Rupp and Chris Conner scored in the third period after Tampa Bay had taken a 7-0 lead, but by then it was obvious the Penguins would fail to become the first Eastern Conference team to advance to the second round. Ladainian Tomlinson Black Friday Jersey. The Penguins are 0-5 under coach Dan Bylsma when they have the chance to eliminate an opponent at home. The margin of victory was the largest for any playoff game this season. Counting a 5-1 victory in Game 2, the Lightning have won two straight in Pittsburgh by a combined score of 13-3. Stamkos first goal made it 2-0 just after Gagne opened the scoring. Seven minutes into the second period, Stamkos scored his second of the game while the Lightning were on the power play, extending their lead to 5-0. "I wanted to, obviously, be a part of this teams success in the playoffs and prove to myself and my teammates that I can play in these pressure situations," Stamkos said. "I just felt each and every game I was getting better and better," he added. "It wasnt showing up on the scoresheet, but I think I noticed it, the coaching staff noticed it, so its nice to get rewarded, especially in a game of this magnitude." Stamkos second goal was the first of three straight man-advantage goals that pushed the Lightnings lead from 4-0 to 7-0. But the Lightning strikes werent limited to the power play. They came into the game with only three 5-on-5 goals in the series but had four in the first 26 minutes on Saturday. The final one, Gagnes second goal of the game, chased Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury. He allowed four goals on 14 shots, and backup Brent Johnson fared worse, giving up four on only 11 shots. Pittsburghs penalty-killing unit was the best in the NHL during the regular season, but the Lightning went 4-for-7 to make them 8-for-22 for the series. "Theres nothing easy in this league, and we fought," said Martin St. Louis, the Lightnings star through four games who added two assists on Saturday. "They came out hard, but we stayed composed and (Roloson) made some big saves." NOTES: Fourteen of Tampa Bays 18 skaters had at least a point; eight had at least two. ...
