WASHINGTON -- DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall were teammates for one dynamic college season at the University of Kentucky. The Sacramento Kings center and the Washington Wizards point guard are individually playing at a high level, though their respective teams arent finding similar success this season.Both teams enter Monday nights matchup with losing records, though the Kings (7-10) have won three of four. Cousins had 37 points and 11 rebounds in Sacramentos 122-105 romp over the Brooklyn Nets Sunday night. The Kings sank 13 of 23 3-pointers and outscored the Nets 34-18 in the third quarter.Good game for us as far as coming out in the second half, Kings coach Dave Joerger said. We got three stops in a row 11 times tonight, which is good. ... I dont know how often well go 13-of-23 from 3-point line.Expecting offensive production from Cousins is common. The big man with range made 4 of 5 from beyond the arc and finished 13 of 24 from the field.Hes a difficult cover because he can play facing you, with his back to the basket, he can shoot a little bit, he can drive a little bit, Joerger said of Cousins, who leads the Kings with 27.8 points per game. He creates a lot of contact and gets to the free-throw line. You look at that and you say how do you take him for granted.Cousins knows better than to take for granted what his former college teammate provides the Wizards. Wall leads Washington with 23.5 points and ranks fifth in the NBA with 8.7 assists.Tough matchup with John Wall, he is a big athletic guard, Cousins said. We have to keep the crowd around him, be there to help guards to help the guard. He really looks to get into the paint and get everybody involved. It is going to be a tough task (Monday) and if we play the way we did tonight minus some of the mistakes we will be fine.The Wizards (5-10) saw their modest two-game winning streak, a season high, end Saturday as the San Antonio Spurs handled Washington 112-100. The Spurs were relentless getting to the free throw and attacking a Wizards defense that struggles defending the perimeter.They were a more aggressive team, said Wall, who had 21 points in the home loss. They got a lot of easy shots and I think we missed some easy shots.Bradley Beal paced the Wizards with 25 points on a night center Ian Mahinmi made his season and Wizards debut after missing the opening 14 games following knee surgery. Rust was evident, but the hope is Mahinmi, who signed a four-year, $64 million contract over the summer, can help Washington defensively against the likes of Cousins.He knows how to play, Wizards coach Scott Brooks said of Mahinmi. Its going to take him some time. Im very patient and he understands that we all are. But I like what he brings to our team. Hes a tough player and he just brings a good fiber to our team. I thought tonights game, at times he looked good (and) at times he looked rusty. Thats expected. Hes missed the last six weeks of the season. Nike Air Max Tn Sverige .

Nike Air Max Billigt Rea . -- Quarterback Will Finch threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns, and Yannick Harou rushed in two scores as the No. PASADENA, Calif. -- Sam Darnold was using his laptop at the team hotel to watch the game that would determine whether Southern Californias Pac-12 title hopes were still alive when he heard cheers indicating that Oregon had scored a last-second touchdown to upset Utah.It turns out Darnolds feed was delayed by a few seconds compared with what his teammates were viewing. It also was one of the few times Darnold was a step slower than everyone else on Saturday, when the redshirt freshman quarterback left rival UCLA utterly baffled.Darnold threw for 267 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions to lead the No. 12 Trojans (8-3, 7-2 Pac-12) to their seventh consecutive win, a 36-14 victory over UCLA . Darnold also rushed for 27 yards, while his ability to extend plays with his mobility offered a striking role reversal from when Bruins quarterback Brett Hundley gave USC fits from 2012-14.I tell you, the creativity that Sam brings was evident, USC coach Clay Helton said.UCLA coach Jim Mora went one step further before comparing Darnold to Tony Romo.A guy as mobile as he is, as heady as he is, keeping his eyes down the field the way that he can, thats what makes him special, Mora said. Ive seen him on film and on TV, and I had a lot of respect for him coming into this game. In person, hes a truly special one.Despite the injury to quarterback Josh Rosen and poor play of the rushing offense, UCLAs defense had played well in a disappointing season. But Darnold was able to run away from and through a defense featuring Takkarist McKinley, Eddie Vanderdoes and Kenny Young, all likely future NFL players.Even Darnolds second interception was more about what he could do, rather than what UCLA could do to stop him. He evaded pressure repeatedly before heaving a ball into the end zone, where it was picked off by Jayon Brown.A similar throw put USC ahead midway through the second quarter, with Darnold putting the ball up for DeQuan Hampton to make a 31-yard touchdown reception. The seldom-used senior receiver boxed out Randall Goforth and extended his arms for the score.That fearlessness is what led USC coaches to elevate Darnold to the starting job after three games in hopes of energizing a sluggish offense.ddddddddddddHes going to push the envelope, offensive coordinator Tee Martin said. Hes going to push the defense and see how much he can get. Like a kid, hes going to play around that stove until he gets burned. Youre going to have to live with some of the mistakes.Id rather him make the mistakes trying to make a play than to play scared, so we just got to live with it.But those mistakes have ended up fueling USCs surge. Darnold forces opposing defenses to account for him as a runner, helping free up space for running backs Ronald Jones and Justin Davis. USC has had a 100-yard rusher in all but two games with Darnold as the starter, while Davis rushed for 92 yards against Colorado and Jones had 93 at Washington in those wins over top 10 teams.We got like a double-edged sword, Jones said. Its great.Darnold has also spread the ball around in the passing game, with 11 different receivers catching balls against UCLA. Helton attributes Darnolds ball distribution to playing point guard in high school basketball.Combine those attributes with a surging defense, and USC would have a strong case for a berth in a New Years Six bowl game with another rivalry win over Notre Dame next week. If the Utes defeat the Buffaloes, USC would win the Pac-12 South on the head-to-head tiebreaker and play for the conference title for the second straight year.Defensive tackle Stevie Tuikolovatu, a graduate transfer from Utah, said he would be cheering super-hard for his friends and former teammates. Tuikolovatu also said he might send Ducks quarterback Justin Herbert a gift to thank him for upsetting Utah.Hes the playmaker today, Tuikolovatu said of Herbert.Everyone that was at the Rose Bowl, however, would say that title belongs to Darnold.Said Martin: Hes still a freshman and I like that part about our future.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
