Sacramento, CA (SportsNetwork. Jaleel Scott Jersey .com) - Not even the return of DeMarcus Cousins could help the Sacramento Kings find the win column. Brandon Knight scored 20 points and O.J. Mayo and Jared Dudley each chipped in 19 to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 108-107 win over the scuffling Kings on Thursday night. Milwaukee, which has won three of its last four, made 56.5 percent of its shots from beyond the arc. Cousins, who returned from a 10-game absence due to viral meningitis, had a chance to win it in the closing seconds, but his jumper was off the mark as the buzzer sounded. He finished with game highs of 27 points and 11 rebounds in just under 33 minutes in the Kings fifth straight loss. Sacramento went 2-8 in Cousins absence and fell to 0-2 under interim coach Tyrone Corbin, who relieved Michael Malone of the head coaching duties this week. (Cousins) did a great job out there in trying to will us to a win, Corbin said. Ben McLemore went for 22 points on an efficient 8-for-10 shooting and Rudy Gay added 20 points in the setback. While Sacramento got its center back, the Bucks were without theirs as Larry Sanders served a one-game suspension due to a Flagrant-2 foul in Wednesdays loss to Portland. With the game tied at 81-81 entering the fourth, Cousins knocked down a pair of free throws to open the quarter before Dudley bookended an 11-1 run with a pair of baskets. Dudleys 3-pointer with 8:40 remaining gave the Bucks a 92-84 advantage. Cousins converted a three-point play with just over four minutes to go that cut the deficit to seven, then Darren Collison followed a Knight layup with a 3 to make it a 105-101 deficit. Gay continued to keep the momentum rolling for the Kings with a floater that preceded his tough layup that knotted the score at 105-105 with 1:01 remaining. Jerryd Bayless then drove the lane and left off a pass to Zaza Pachulia, who made the open layup to put the Bucks back in front. McLemore hit a pair of free throws at the other end to again tie the contest. On Milwaukees ensuing possession, Dudley missed a rushed 3, but Pachulia pulled down the rebound, was fouled and split the two free throws with 6.8 seconds on the clock. The Kings ran the final play through their best player. Cousins gained separation from Pachulia with a step-back jumper, however, his try was short and the Bucks held on. We wanted to get the ball in his hands, Corbin said of the final play. He had a good look. The Kings got an immediate lift from their big man in the opening minutes. Cousins netted eight points in the first 5:02 of the contest as the hosts jumped out to an 18-6 lead. Mayo proceeded to knock down a pair of 3-pointers, then his jumper with over a minute remaining in the quarter capped the scoring and brought the Bucks within 29-25 entering the second. With O.J. coming out, he gave us a spark offensively, said Bucks coach Jason Kidd. He kept us in there early. Milwaukee grabbed its first lead since the first minute of the game when Bayless hit a 3 for a 39-38 edge with under eight to play in the half. Knights trey with 5.2 seconds left helped the visitors to a 57-54 lead at the break. Game Notes Milwaukee wraps up its four-game road trip against the Clippers on Saturday ...

I think hell dedicate himself to the national team.Since transferring from AC Milan, Balotelli has scored only two goals in 14 appearances for Liverpool — and none in the Premier League.Glad to be back on the National Team and proud to represent my country, Balotelli wrote on Facebook.Without Balotelli, Ciro Immobile and Simone Zaza have taken over as the starters in attack under Contes preferred 3-5-2 formation. It remains to be seen if Balotelli will be used as a bench option or possibly replace Zaza.All players are equal. Balotelli, like everyone else, could play if hes in form but he could also end up on the bench or even in the tribune, Conte said. Balotelli has a lot of experience with the national team, having played a World Cup and a European Championship. Thats important but its not enough. Hes going to have to show me he can adapt to my type of football.Others have already shown that. Immobile, Zaza, (Graziano) Pelle and (Sebastian) Giovinco start with an advantage, Conte added. If over the course of a week Balotelli shows me hes reached the level of the others then he could pass in front of them.While Italy has won all four of its matches under Conte, the Azzurri struggled somewhat in ttheir last two games, a 2-1 win over Azerbaijan and a 1-0 victory over Malta. Lamar Jackson Jersey. .Im looking forward to knowing (Balotelli). Its good to have competition, Zaza said. It could help the squad. I knew sooner or later he would be called up. Hes one of the best Italian forwards.Italy and Croatia are level at the top of Group H with nine points each. Two days after Sundays match at the San Siro — where Balotelli formerly played for both Inter and AC Milan — Italy hosts Albania in Genoa for a friendly.Conte said speculation that he had called up Balotelli merely to meet sponsor demands was nonsense.I dont exclude anyone, said the coach who guided Juventus to the last three Serie A titles. Balotelli is playing as a starter for Liverpool. Im forced to call up many players who are not starters for their clubs.Balotelli has scored 13 goals in 33 appearances for Italy, and was instrumental in the Azzurris run to the final of Euro 2012. But after scoring in Italys opening win over England at the World Cup, both he and the rest of Prandellis attack struggled in the next two matches against Costa Rica and Uruguay.Balotelli was the focus of a big portion of the blame for Italys early exit from the tournament in Brazil.Four months ago when he scored against England, you hailed Balotelli as Italys national treasure, Conte said. Four months later, hes being (attacked). I think thats part of the problem. Hes just a normal player.Conte deflected questions over reports in English tabloids focusing on Balotellis late-night partying habits.Im going to evaluate Balotelli for what he does from here on, Conte said. You know my rules and how severe I am. Im not going to waver on that.___Andrew Dampf can be followed at www.twitter.com/asdampf Discount Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Online Jerseys NFL China Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping China Jerseys Cheap ' ' '
