HOUSTON - James Harden and the Houston Rockets got a lift from two unlikely sources on Wednesday night.Harden scored 26 points on 10-for-31 shooting in Houstons 102-89 victory over the Sacramento Kings, and Donatas Motiejunas and Isaiah Canaan each stepped up for the Rockets.We kept breathing, our defence just kept grinding away and grinded out some stops, Houston coach Kevin McHale said.Harden also had eight assists and seven rebounds in Houstons third straight win, and Motiejunas and Canaan each set a career high for points.Canaan made six 3-pointers and scored 24 points, and Motiejunas had 21 points. Canaan was averaging 8.1 points coming into the night, and Motiejunas was averaging 6.6 points.The Rockets, who committed just four turnovers, scored 32 points off of Sacramentos 21 turnovers.You cant beat good teams and yourself in the same game, and we did that tonight, which is too bad, Kings coach Michael Malone said.DeMarcus Cousins had 29 points and 17 rebounds for the Kings (9-6), and Ben McLemore and Omri Casspi each scored 14.Houston played without centre Dwight Howard (knee) and point guard Patrick Beverley (hamstring), while Sacramento was without Rudy Gay (right Achilles injury) and Darren Collison (quad contusion).Sacramento had a scary moment late in the third quarter when Cousins went down, grabbing at a knee in apparent pain. The entire Kings bench, staff and players, walked onto the court toward the far corner where Cousins was located, but he slowly got up with a slight limp and remained in the game.To see him go down and grab his knee was very disconcerting, Malone said. Hes a load and we cant afford to lose him.The Rockets held Sacramento to just 39 points in the second half.Thats hard to do because Cousins is a handful, McHale said.Lacking its main inside presence in Howard, Houston went 12 for 35 from 3-point range. The Rockets reached double-digits in made 3-pointers in all but three of their games this season, including four straight.The Rockets out together a strong start, leading 37-19 at the end of the first quarter. Harden had 12 points and five assists in the opening period.The Kings stepped up their defence in the second, allowing just 20 points and closing to 57-50 at the break.Sacramento went 22 for 28 at the free-throw line, while Houston was just 6 for 15. The Kings and Rockets began the night ranked first and fourth in free-throw attempts per game, respectively.The Rockets have won six of eight since a loss to Golden State ended a 6-0 run to open the season.___TIP-INSKings: Jason Thompson had 11 boards, and Sacramento outrebounded the undersized Rockets 48-41. The Kings entered the game ranked third in the league in rebounds per game.Rockets: Howard missed his fourth straight game with a sprained knee. Beverley has missed four games with the lingering hamstring injury. ... F Terrence Jones missed his 11th straight game with nerve damage in his left leg. McHale hinted before the game that all three starters would remain sidelined Friday.UP NEXTKings: Visit San Antonio on Friday.Rockets: Host the Clippers on Friday for the finale of a five-game homestand.CANAAN FROM 3Canaan went 6 for 10 from 3-point range and is 25 for 59 from long range on the season.Once you see a couple go down, you believe the next one is going to fall and if it does, the next one, you got to take that one, too, Canaan said.CASSPIS RETURNCasspi returned to Houston, where he played last season before being traded in July. Before the game, McHale spoke glowingly of Casspis brief tenure in Houston, and Casspis admiration was mutual.It was a life-changing experience from a basketball perspective to play for coach McHale, Casspi said. He taught me how to play the game the right way. I learned a lot. Nelson Semedo Jersey . We wonder if the price of a Roberts rookie card has at least gone up a few cents?

Philippe Coutinho Jersey . -- Jonathan Vilmas season is over and his future on the football field is in doubt.WINDEMERE, Fla. - Tiger Woods is too busy in the gym to find a new swing coach, or even swing a golf club.Woods said Monday his strength has returned from busting my butt in the gym pretty hard and he is on schedule to resume competition in December. But he still hasnt hit a golf ball since he missed the cut at the PGA Championship on Aug. 8, and still doesnt know when he will.Were pretty much past the strength phase now, and Ive got my strength where I want to have it, Woods said at Isleworth Golf & Country Club, where he lived for the first 15 years of his pro career. Now I just need to get my fast twitch going and get my speed back, and thats going to take a little bit of time. Thats part of our second phase of training. And thats coming up now.Woods had his fifth surgery in 20 years a€” this time on his back a€” and failed to win a PGA Tour event for the third time in the last five years.Rory McIlroy referred to Woods and Phil Mickelson has being on the last few holes of their careers when he was asked about the two best players of their generation not being eligible for the Tour Championship for the first time since 1992.McIlroy simply was noting their ages (Woods turns 39 in December, Mickelson is 44) and their injuries. And when the last few holes became an Internet sensation and McIlroy was asked if he needed to explain his remarks to Woods, he replied with a laugh, Ive said worse to his face.Woods response?I thought it was funny, he said. Phil has less holes to play than I do, though. Its a reality, you know? Were all older. Im nearing my 20th season on tour here coming up pretty soon. ... Its just part of the aging process.The Tiger Woods Foundation announced that India-based Hero Motocorp would be the new title sponsor of Woods year-end charity event, which is moving to Isleworth from Sherwood Country Club in California. The tournament will played Dec. 4-7.Woods played an exhibition in India in February when he met Pawan Munjal, the vice chairman and CEO of Hero.Thats my last good round I played all year, Woods said. I shot 63 that day.Even though he smiled, there was some truth to that. A nagging back injury became progressiveely worse until Woods chose to have back surgery March 31, forcing him to miss the Masters for the first time and the U.ddddddddddddS. Open during a three-month recovery.When he returned, Woods missed the cut twice, had his worst 72-hole finish in a major and withdrew from a World Golf Championship when he jarred his back hopping off a steep slope into the bunker in the final round at Firestone. He didnt qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs for the second time, both injury related. And he took himself out of consideration as a Ryder Cup pick.Woods didnt regret coming back too soon. He said he didnt realize how much stamina he lacked.I felt good enough to do it, and the only unfortunate part is I couldnt maintain the conditioning, Woods said. I wasnt as conditioned as I needed to be. So as the tournament would wear on, I would get more and more fatigued and tired, and I wasnt as explosive. I wasnt as strong. ... I could lift the weights that Im accustomed to lifting, as well as playing and practicing.Eventually, the game started to deteriorate a little bit because ... I wasnt in good enough shape to maintain it.He said his conditioning program is similar to when he returned from reconstructive knee surgery after winning the 2008 U.S. Open, his last major title.Woods fired Sean Foley two weeks after the PGA Championship. He already has had three swing coaches a€” and four different swings a€” during his pro career.Am I looking for a new coach? As of right now, no, Im not, Woods said. Right now Im just trying to get physically better, stronger, faster, more explosive. ... Im in no hurry to look for one right now. As I said, Im just focused on what Im doing.Among the early commitments to the Hero World Challenge are U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer, Masters champion Bubba Watson and either other players in the Ryder Cup next week, along with two Americans who wont be in the Ryder Cup a€” FedEx Cup champion Billy Horschel and Chris Kirk.Its going to be a deep field, Woods said. And hopefully, I can play a little bit better than I have been playing.Woods lost in a playoff last year to Zach Johnson. That was his last top-10 finish.
