Evans, Cousins lead Kings past Thunder

Basketball Betting Lines

02/10/2012 - Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tyreke Evans scored 22 points, DeMarcus Cousins added 19 and the Kings made enough free throws down the stretch to take down the Thunder, 106-101.

Marcus Thornton finished with 15 points, including a pair of three-pointers during a late 18-4 run that put Sacramento on top for good.

The Kings scored 28 points off 23 turnovers to win for the fourth time in five games.

Russell Westbrook netted 33 points, Kevin Durant chipped in 27 to go with eight rebounds and Serge Ibaka blocked 10 shots for Oklahoma City, which fell to 2-2 on its five-game road trip.

Daequan Cook drained a three-pointer to put the Thunder on top, 95-87, with 5:56 remaining, and the visitors only made three field goals the rest of the way.

A Thornton three-pointer tied things at 97 with 2:07 to play, and Cousins went 1-for-2 at the foul line after grabbing an offensive rebound the next time down.

Westbrook hit a pullup jumper for a 99-98 advantage, but turned it over two of the next three possessions -- the first coming when he stepped on the sideline after Donte Greene hit a pair of free throws.

Evans added another free throw with 39.2 seconds showing, and following Durant's missed three, Cousins essentially put the game away with two more from the stripe.

The Kings led 23-19 heading to the second quarter, led 57-55 at halftime and trailed 78-76 entering the final stanza. There were nine ties and nine lead changes in the first three frames.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
