(Sports Network) - Basement dwellers in the Pacific Division collide tonight in Californias capital, where the Los Angeles Clippers will take on the Sacramento Kings from ARCO Arena. The Clippers have dropped four in a row and 11 of their last 13 games, including Saturdays 99-92 setback to the Boston Celtics at Staples Center. Randy Foye continued his recent solid play with a season-high 32 points and Blake Griffin recorded his 50th double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds. The thing about them is how well they move the ball and play off of each other, Griffin said of the Celtics. You can tell they have been playing together for a while. Thats tough to beat when teams are moving the ball and everybody knows their role. Everybody is getting shots and everybody is rotating defensively. Chris Kaman chipped in 16 points and nine boards off the bench in defeat. In 17 games as a starter, Foye is averaging 17.2 points. He has been filling in for injured guard Eric Gordon (wrist). The Clippers were playing their first home game since going 2-9 on an 11-game road trip, and actually led by 13 points in the first half. LA, which has lost three in a row on the road, is 5-24 as the visitor this season and could have newcomers Mo Williams and Jamario Moon in the lineup tonight. Williams and Moon were acquired last week from Cleveland in a deal that sent Baron Davis to the Cavaliers. Sacramento hopes to put the brakes on a five-game home losing streak tonight in the opener of a quick residency versus the Clippers and Trail Blazers. It is 7-22 as the host this season and completed a seven-game road trip with Saturdays 120-92 loss at Memphis. Beno Udrih led the Kings with 24 points, while Marcus Thornton had 15 off the bench in his second game for Sacramento, which went 2-5 on the road swing and lost for the 10th time in the last 12 tries. Thornton was acquired from New Orleans before the trade deadline. Were tired, were banged up, were struggling, Kings head coach Paul Westphal said afterwards. Rookie of the Year candidate DeMarcus Cousins posted 14 points and seven rebounds in defeat. Udrih is averaging 17.7 ppg in his last three for a Kings team that continues to toil without reigning Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans due to a case of plantar fascitis in his left foot. In other injury news, forward Jason Thompson (ankle) is questionable for tonights game against the Clippers. Los Angeles will try to sweep the four-game season series from Sacramento tonight, but has lost 22 of the past 25 contests at ARCO Arena. The Clippers havent swept the Kings in a regular-season series since winning all five meetings during the 1985-86 campaign. . Jones made 24 saves for his third shutout in five games, and the remarkable rookie led the Los Angeles Kings to a 3-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.

"His ball was really moving, particularly the slider, was moving all over the place. Cheap MLB Jerseys . Bolts priority is refining the mechanics of his stride. "In this race, Ill try to get the perfect execution," Bolt said. "When I go out there, I should really focus on trying to get everything together, trying to get the right technique. wholesale nfl jerseys . The 451-foot shot -- third longest in Safeco Field history -- jump-started the moribund Mariners offence as they went on to a 6-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night. NEW YORK -- Santonio Holmes is staying put, eager to keep catching passes from Mark Sanchez in big games for the next several seasons. A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the New York Jets have agreed to terms on a five-year deal with the flashy wide receiver, regarded as the top player at his position among this years free agents. Holmes was also considered the Jets main priority once the free agency period started Tuesday after the NFL lockout ended after 4 1/2 months Monday. And, New York went to work quickly on making sure it kept one of Sanchezs favourite targets. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the deal. General manager Mike Tannenbaum and coach Rex Ryan could not confirm or discuss the deal because teams cant officially sign free agents until Friday. Financial terms werent immediately available. The Daily News reported the deal was worth almost US$50 million, with $24 million guaranteed, and would count only $2.45 million against this years cap. On Twitter, Holmes thanked other players who congratulated him on the deal. He also retweeted a post by fellow Jets free agent Antonio Cromartie, who said: "Congrats to @santonio10 on his new deal...thats what Im talking abt. Good friend and excellent teammate." Holmes later tweeted a photo of himself drinking from a champagne bottle, and said: "Just finish a bottle of Louis Roederer Cristal from 2002! Big bro showed love today." Holmes, acquired last off-season from Pittsburgh, had 52 catches for 746 yards and six touchdowns for the Jets and re-established himself as the go-to guy he was while with the Steelers. After returning from a four-game suspension to start the season, Holmes quickly developed a rapport with Sanchez, who said Tuesday he was willing to restructure his contract if it helped the Jets go after free agents. While its unclear if any restructuring by Sanchez or any player was done, the Jets were aggressive in bringing Holmes back. They are also in talks with Oakland cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, regarded as the top overall free agent available. New York entered the free agent period with 16 unrestricted players, including Holmes and offensive lineman Wayne Hunter, who agreed to terms on a four-year deal on Tuesday. The signing of Holmes could mean the Jets are moving on from felloow wide receiver Braylon Edwards, who had 53 catches for 904 yards and seven touchdowns this last season.dddddddddddd "Congrats to @santonio10 Great player and good friend!" Edwards wrote on his Twitter page. Edwards has said he wants to remain in New York, but it was thought the Jets would need to choose between him and Holmes. "It was such a luxury to have both of them last year," Sanchez said. "Its almost unrealistic to have that kind of a receiving corps again. Whichever guys we get back, its going to be them playing really well, and me getting even better." Edwards reiterated in a tweet Wednesday that he wants to stay with the Jets, "but the feeling doesnt seem to be mutual with the management." He later deleted the tweet. Meanwhile, Edwards was in court in Cleveland on Wednesday. A judge spared him jail time, but extended his Ohio probation by one year for violating terms by driving drunk in New York City. "All of my court days r behind me, thk God and I am ready to play Football," he wrote on Twitter. Holmes, 27, was acquired from Pittsburgh last April for a fifth-round pick -- an incredibly low price for a former Super Bowl MVP. But Holmes had some off-field issues, and the Steelers were finished with him despite the fact he was coming off career highs with 79 catches and 1,248 yards receiving. There was a lawsuit in Florida from a woman who claimed he threw a glass at her, cutting her above the eye. He was arrested in 2008 for possession of marijuana and involved in a domestic violence incident in 2006; the misdemeanour charges were later dismissed. He was also accused of telling a fan to "kill urself" on his Twitter page, but implied that his account was hacked. After coming to the Jets, a flight attendant claimed Holmes failed to follow regulations as the plane he was aboard landed in Pittsburgh. He also was forced to sit out the first four games of last season for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. General manager Mike Tannenbaum acknowledged the Jets were taking a risk, but insisted it would be worth it. And, he was right. Holmes was a big-time playmaker in the clutch, helping lead New York to its second straight AFC championship game. Holmes played key roles in three straight wins with big catches late in games, prompting coach Rex Ryan to call key moments "Tone Time." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
