SACRAMENTO, Calif. Ravens 34 Jersey . -- A youthful team with some major defensive deficiencies through the first 10 games of the season, the Sacramento Kings were crediting defence as a difference-maker after snapping a six-game losing streak Friday night. Tyreke Evans scored 20 points and Beno Udrih connected on a huge 3-pointer in the closing seconds to give the struggling Kings an 86-81 victory over the New Jersey Nets, who were held to 35 second-half points. Any win is a good one for the Kings, who also ended a five-game skid at home, avoiding their first 0-6 stretch at Arco Arena since an eight-game slide from Nov. 11 to Dec. 6, 2008. Sacramento looked headed for another loss, trailing at halftime for the 11th straight time this season. "There was a lot of pressure on us, especially playing really bad on our home court," Udrih said. "Now we have that taste of winning again." Searching for a cohesive defensive unit, Kings coach Paul Westphal inserted Donte Greene into the lineup, his fifth starting group through 11 games. Greene had some solid moments at the defensive end and so did the Kings, who held Brook Lopez, the Nets second-leading scorer, to seven points. Leading scorer Devin Harris wasnt much better, shooting 3 of 12 and scoring 10 points. Sacramento had allowed the three previous opponents to shoot 52 per cent and looked awful on Wednesday night, when the New York Knicks used a 40-point second quarter to beat the Kings 113-106. "We put together 44 good minutes of defence tonight," Westphal said. "We had a little lull there in the second quarter, but for the most part I thought we won the game with our defence." It didnt hurt that the Kings finally made a big shot in a close game. Travis Outlaw hit a jumper following a timeout to cut the Kings lead to 83-81 with 27 seconds remaining. But with the shot clock running down, Udrih made a 3-pointer for an 86-81 lead with 3.4 seconds left. "They were double-teaming (Evans) and then he found Luther (Head), they rotated and I was wide open," said Udrih, who was replaced in the starting lineup by Head for the second straight game. "So Luther passed to me. I knew there were two seconds on the shot clock. It was a good pass and a good shot." Kris Humphries had 18 points and 10 rebounds, Anthony Morrow scored 17 points and Outlaw 13 for the Nets. New Jersey lost its second straight and has dropped eight of 10 since starting the season 2-0 for the first time tine in eight seasons. "It was a tough loss," Humphries said. "Weve been able to hold teams below their shooting percentage, but we havent been able to put points on the board. We are really taking a long time to get into our offence." Nets coach Avery Johnson said the Nets executed well on Sacramentos final possession. "The plan was to get the ball at a certain point out of Tyrekes hand because we were having problems with him all night," Johnson said. "We did exactly what we wanted to do. When we got to Udrih the shot clock was down, we just didnt do a good job of taking away the shot." Carl Landry scored 15 points, Udrih had 12 and Head added 10 for Sacramento. DeMarcus Cousins had eight points and 10 rebounds for the Kings, who lost at New Jersey the second game of the season. "These are the ones weve got to win," Lopez said. "Weve been good as a team, but we just have let a few get away. Its just frustrating right now. Both Devin and I didnt have a good game." Evans began the game shooting 1 of 8, then got going late in the first half, surprisingly making shots from the perimeter, where he has struggled throughout his brief NBA career. Evans helped put the Kings on top 64-63 heading into the fourth quarter. Last years Rookie of the Year scored nine points in the third, when Sacramento outscored the Nets 21-17. Morrow and Humphries both had 12 points in the opening half to put the Nets in front 46-43. New Jersey used a 19-4 run in the second quarter to erase an eight-point deficit. Landry had 10 points for the Kings. Notes: In the battle of two highly touted rookie post players, Cousins drew an offensive foul late in the first quarter against Derrick Favours. Neither player was a factor. Favours scored three points. ... Nets reserve Quinton Ross suffered a calf strain in the first half and didnt return. ... Harris missed seven of eight shots before hitting a jumper midway through the third quarter, then was promptly taken out of the game. Replica Tony Romo Jersey .

Ryan Christian had both TD receptions in a three-catch, 106-yard performance.St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Pat Burrell tormented his old team with a two-run home run and three total runs batted in, as Tampa Bay downed Philadelphia, 7-1, to even their World Series rematch with the third contest set for Thursday. Burrells home run was just his second this season due to an extended stint on the disabled list with a neck injury. His long ball was all hard-luck loser Joe Blanton (4-4) surrendered, as the right-hander struck out 10 and scattered six hits and two walks in losing for the first time over eight starts. Matt Garza (5-5) evened his record after hurling eight frames of one-run, three-hit ball with seven strikeouts and three walks. Garza won for the first time since May 16th, lowering his ERA to 3.61. "Its a huge win for us," said Garza. "We have a job to do." Jason Bartlett drove in a pair of runs, as did Gabe Gross with a two-run double in Tampa Bays five-run eighth frame. Jayson Werth finished 2-for-4 with a solo home run, but he also grounded into a crucial double play in the fourth frame for the Phillies, who lost for the seventh time in eight contests. The Rays jumped on Blanton in the second as Carlos Pena stroked a leadoff single, and one out later, Burrell crushed a middle-of-the-plate fastball deep into the left-field seats for a 2-0 edge. Blanton settled down, striking out five of six batters over the fourth and fifth frames. The Phillies actually loaded the bases on walks in the fourth, but Werth hit a first pitch into a 5-2-3 double play and Matt Stairs struck out swinging to end the threat. They finally got a run across just prior to stretch time when Werth redeeemed himself with a solo shot that just fell to the left of the pole down the right-field line. Haloti Ngata Jersey Youth. Tampa Bay took advantage of three bloop hits and mental error from Jimmy Rollins to blow the game open in the eighth. B.J. Upton doubled and Carl Crawford singled to put runners on the corners. Willy Aybar skied a shallow fly to Stairs in left, who planted and fired a perfect one-hopper to Carlos Ruiz. The catcher blocked the plate and put the tag on Upton for the double play. Pena was then plunked by a pitch and Ben Zobrist walked, ending J.C. Romeros night for Chan Ho Park. Park got Burrell to ground softly to Rollins, who inexplicably tossed to Chase Utley at second, where Zobrist slid in safely, instead of tossing to first to get the slow-running Burrell. A run scored on the play, then Bartlett extended the his hitting streak to a career-best 18 games with a looping fly just off Utleys glove behind second for a two-run single and Gross slugged a two-run two-bagger into the right-field corner. "I dont know why I went to second. I dont know," said Rollins. "Every once in a while, those plays happen." Game Notes Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria left the game after the seventh inning with slight tightness in his groin. The move was deemed a precautionary measure...Bartletts hitting streak ties the franchise record set by Quinton McCracken in 1998...Philadelphias Shane Victorino saw his 11-game hitting streak come to an end...After publicly complaining about a lack of attendance in this World Series rematch, Rays ownership saw just an announced attendance of 18,862.
