Apr 2, 2025; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis (11) dunks th ball as Washington Wizards forward Alex Sarr (20) defends in the first half at Capital One Arena. Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Jordan Poole scored 23 points and JT Thor sank a crucial 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter, lifting the host Washington Wizards to a 116-111 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.
Poole made 8 of 14 shots from the floor to help the Wizards (17-59) snap a three-game losing streak. The win also avenged Washington’s 123-100 setback in Sacramento on Jan. 19.
Wizards rookies AJ Johnson, Bub Carrington and Alex Sarr enjoyed successful outings. Johnson scored 19 points, Carrington sank five 3-pointers to highlight his 19-point performance and Sarr finished with 15 points.
Tristan Vukcevic added 17 points off the bench for Washington, which shot a robust 51.2 percent from the floor.
Sacramento’s DeMar DeRozan recorded 29 points, eight assists and seven rebounds and Domantas Sabonis added 18 points, 16 boards and seven assists.
Zach LaVine and Keegan Murray also scored 18 points for the Kings (36-40), who have lost three in a row and seven of their last eight games.
Sacramento trimmed a 14-point deficit to 111-109 after DeRozan converted a three-point play with 55.6 seconds to play. Thor, however, used a ball fake to create some space before calmly sinking a 3-pointer with 40 seconds remaining for his only points of the night.
Carrington added a pair of free throws with 28.2 seconds left to essentially seal the win.
Murray made his second 3-pointer to begin the third and give Sacramento a 60-59 lead before Washington went on a 32-17 run to end the quarter. Carrington converted four times from beyond the arc, including twice during the final minute of the quarter to stake the Wizards to a 91-77 advantage.
LaVine sank a pair of free throws to forge a tie at 42 before Gill drained a 3-pointer to ignite Washington’s 11-0 run. Sacramento, however, responded with a flourish, as Malik Monk scored four of the team’s 10 straight points before Poole split the defense for a layup just before the buzzer to give the Wizards a 55-52 lead at halftime.

Casagrande não descarta campeão da Copa do Brasil: “Pode chegar”
Casagrande, comentarista e ex-jogador (Reprodução) Walter Casagrande é sempre muito contundente em suas manifestações. Desta vez, o ex-jogador assegurou que o Corinthians não teria chances de brigar pelo Brasileirão, isso porque acredita que o elenco chega a ser inferior a outras equipes do futebol brasileiro. Por outro lado, Casão entende ser possível que o Timão possa alcançar resultados melhores, por exemplo, na Copa do Brasil. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “Corinthians tem um time que, completo, é muito bom, competitivo, mas não é para ganhar o Campeonato Brasileiro. Não tem o elenco do Palmeiras, Flamengo, Internacional… é um time para Copas. Copa do Brasil? Talvez, mas não para um campeonato regular”, analisou Casagrande. Com Dorival Júnior agora no comando, o comentarista ‘torce’ para o treinador conseguir ajustar um problema que parece crônico: o sistema defensivo.

Legenda dá sbohem. Jindřišek se v neděli rozloučí s Bohemians
Jindřišek už je nyní nejstarším hráčem, který kdy v samostatné české lize zasáhl do utkání. Svůj vlastní rekord ještě o kousek posune. V neděli mu bude 44 let, jeden měsíc a devatenáct dní. Prakticky všichni jeho vrstevníci už dávno pověsili kopačky na hřebík. Ale poctivý veterán šlapal dál, neztratil se. Vždyť ještě v předminulém ligovém ročníku, kdy Bohemians skončili senzačně čtvrtí a probojovali se do pohárové Evropy, odehrál 34 zápasů ze 35 možných. Za poslední dvě sezony pak zasáhl do osmnácti mačů nejvyšší soutěže.Celkem za zelenobílý mančaft odehrál téměř 435 utkání. Valnou většinu v A-mužstvu, necelou třicítku za třetiligové béčko.„Jednou to přijít muselo. Bylo to super, ale uteklo to strašně rychle. Neříká se mi to snadno, malinko se tomu bráním,“ vykládal Jindřišek o svém loučení. „Bohemka mi nabídla rozlučkový zápas, ale já se chci rozloučit v lize,“ vysvětlil pak, proč burcuje fanoušky, aby pro nedělní mač s Hradcem zaplnili Ďolíček.S největší pravděpodobností se to […]
