Luis Scola scored 22 points and grabbed key rebounds in the final minutes, and the Houston Rockets held off the Sacramento Kings 113-106 Saturday night. The Rockets blew a 15-point, second-quarter lead and had...
by Rich Pedroncelli - AP View full size photo » THE OPPONENT The Kings , you may remember, saw these Rockets about a week ago, in Sacramento's most recent win, one which took the team to a 5-4 record. The Kings have lost two straight: a disappointing slopfest against Chicago, and a resilient fight in Dallas. Houston has gone 2-2 since last Friday, beating the Lakers and Wolves on the road but...

I'm once again going to take you through the crazyness that is the Mav's Mavs season thus far, in my own crazy, monkey brain. Since we last talked It's been a little over a week since we last talked, and oh so much has happened. I watched...
Back in February Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball and The Blind Side, wrote a special piece for the New York Times entitled “The No-Stats All-Star”. The title wasn’t a knock on the player it featured, former Duke star and ACC player of the Year Shane Battier, rather it was a compliment to his impact on [...]
By Henry Abbott TrueHoop reader Reid Sassman writes the following about his 2001 visit to Duke University: Duke had just won the National Championship in March when I was a junior in high school. I visited Duke with my friend Travis to see if we wanted to go there for college, and we spent Friday night with a friend of his. Saturday afternoon his friend was still asleep at like two in the afternoon...
By Henry Abbott The hungry Rockets scored a major victory, on the road in Los Angeles against the defending champion Lakers. How did they do it? Well, Kobe Bryant had a miserable night, making just five of his 20 shots, to go with four turnovers, just one rebound, an no made 3-pointers to go with three assists and three steals. Kobe Bryant had a long night, but this time Shane Battier had little to...
Relayed in order of formation rather than importance: Trevor Ariza, clearly too geeked up, was 5-21 from the floor when these teams met in Houston on November 4. Tonight, he'll be playing at home (literally, not in the "my team wears white jerseys" context), getting his ring, and looking for redemption. I picture a very good or a very bad game for TA coming tonight. Not much in between. I...
HECTOR AMEZCUA hamezcua@sacbee.com Kings forward Jason Thompson, who scored 27 points, is fouled as he goes to the basket against the Rockets' Chuck Hayes on Friday. Rick Adelman is no demon. Not by a long shot. But he is the former Kings coach, the man so long associated with the organization's only era of success and all that was once good about this product. And if the spirits are ever going to...

The next Shane Battier is going to ... North Carolina. Man, this one has to hurt Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and the Blue Devils staff. Coach K had been recruiting the nation's top-ranked player, Harrison Barnes, longer than his Tobacco Road rival. More on College Basketball
Good news: I've been inundated with basketball books to review as publishers prepare for the holiday season. So it's time to start a short book review series. With each review, my goal is to be as to-the-point as possible. Is it worth your Holiday dollars? Who might particularly enjoy it? Who should avoid it? And, also, what do some other respected basketball voices have to say about it? Hopefully...
In the relatively short time period known as the Kings' Paul Westphal era, the first-year coach has ended most practices with a satisfied feeling. The effort has been there among his players, as has the willingness to listen and learn and improve. But on the eve of a home game against Houston that offers his team an unexpected chance at a winning record, Westphal found himself in a rare state of mind:...
Miller is currently hurt, but in his 5 games played as a Wizard he has put up some simply bizarre numbers. http://www.nba.com/playerfile/mike_miller/index.html'nav=page Now, recall that this guy's primary calling card has been that he is a shooter. You don't acquire Mike Miller to be Shane Battier or Bruce Bowen. You get him because he has a reputation as an unbelievable shooter. Problem -- won't shoot...
