(SportsNetwork. Carson Palmer Jersey .com) - The Sacramento Kings will hope to keep a recent run of great basketball going Monday night when they head to the Pepsi Center to face the Denver Nuggets. The Kings have won two in a row and the victories came over some impressive teams. Sacramento dispatched the Portland Trail Blazers at home on Friday, then bested the Los Angeles Clippers, 98-92, Sunday afternoon at the Staples Center. It feels good to come in here and get a win. This is definitely a confidence booster, point guard Darren Collison said. DeMarcus Cousins had 34 points, 17 rebounds and three blocks in the win. Rudy Gay added 25 points, seven boards and six assists for the Kings, who fell to Golden State in their opener. Darren Collison tallied 14 points and no other Sacramento player scored in double figures. The Kings shot 50 percent from the field and held the mighty Clippers offense to 37.5 field-goal shooting and 29 percent from beyond the 3-point line. The Nuggets began the season with a home victory over the Detroit Pistons, but fell Saturday night to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 102-91, at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Denver showed some fight in the loss against OKC. The Nuggets trailed by 26 at one point, but cut the deficit to just three points. Serge Ibaka and Perry Jones both nailed 3-pointers that ended Denvers hopes. We didnt execute the way we wanted to, point guard Ty Lawson said of the slow start. We didnt come to play. Lawson netted 14 of his 25 points in the final quarter, but it was too little, too late for the visitors. Arron Afflalo scored 14 and Timofey Mozgov chipped in 10 points. In stark contrast to a Thunder team that featured eight healthy players due to not just injuries to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, but almost every two guard on the roster, the Nuggets saw 10 players get at least 13 minutes of game action. All 11 players who checked in, scored for Denver, but only managed 28 points. These two teams will meet Wednesday night in Sacramento. The Nuggets are 11-3 in their last 14 meetings with the Kings, although Sacramento did win two of three during the 2013-14 season. When the Kings won at the Pepsi Center on Feb. 23, it snapped a nine-game series road losing streak. Brandon Williams Jersey .

Pat Quinn, the former defenceman who moved behind the Canucks bench and into the general managers office, believes new team president Trevor Linden -- a player Quinn drafted and coached -- has the potential to return Vancouver to the NHL elite. "There is no magic luxor," Quinn said Sunday after being inducted into the Canucks ring of honour at Rogers Arena. "You have to fix it. You have to have luck, you have to have cap room. "A lot of things come into play." A promising season turned bad for the Canucks, who will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2008. Watching the team this year Quinn noticed a slip in the talent level. "Its cyclical," Quinn said. "The hard part is when your good players skills start to diminish a little bit, then youve got to find replacements for that top level player." A 30-team NHL reduces that talent pool. "We dont have enough top players," Quinn said. Fans will need to be patient. "Thats where the first step comes in, the assessment that needs to be done," said Quinn. "I think thats the stage where Trev is. "Ive read he has a plan. When you have a plan you dont go around telling everybody." Linden was named president last week after Mike Gillis was fired as Vancouvers president and general manager. Quinn shrugged when asked if he will play a role in the Canucks rebuild. There has been speculation Linden may ask Quinn to return to the organization in some sort of advisory capacity. "Its a different day today," said the 71-year-old Hamilton native. "Whatever happens, happens. "Trevor is a terrific kid, there is no question. Im not really thinking about that sort of thing. He has lots on his plate." Quinn was joined by members of his family at centre ice prior to the game against the Calgary Flames for the induction ceremony. Other members of the ring of honour include Thomas Gradin, Kirk McLean and Harold Snepsts. The crowd gave Quinn a standing ovation. Arizona Cardinals Jerseys. "It was inexplicable," Quinn said. "You cant express the emotions you feel. "You are mindful of the people who touched you along the way, how important they were to me." Quinn was Vancouvers president and general manager from 1987 to 1997. He coached the team from 1991-94 and then again late in the 1995-96 season. There are some parallels between what Quinn, 71, faced back in 1987 and the task Linden now faces. Quinn took over a wheezing, money-losing franchise and helped turned it into a high-scoring team that came within one game of winning the 1994 Stanley Cup final. "When you are first starting you know one thing," said Quinn. "I always wanted to be a team player. "No one person wins a hockey game, no one person builds a franchise. I got pretty lucky in putting this team together." In 280 games as a coach, Quinn had a record of 141 wins, 111 loses and 28 ties. With him behind the bench the Canucks won two division titles, five playoff rounds and he was voted coach of the year in 1991-92. As a general manager Quinn helped build the Canucks by drafting players like Linden and Pavel Bure. Quinn also traded for players like McLean, Cliff Ronning, Dave Babych, Jyrki Lumme, Greg Adams, Geoff Courtnall and Markus Naslund. It was through Quinn people like Brian Burke, Dave Nonis, Steve Tambellini and George McPhee received their first NHL jobs. Quinn played his junior hockey with the Edmonton Oil Kings, winning a Memorial Cup in 1963. He spent nine years as a player, playing defence for Vancouver, Toronto and Atlanta. He coached the Philadelphia Flyers, Los Angeles Kings, Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers. On the international stage, Quinn coached Team Canada to gold medals at the 2002 Winter Olympics and 2009 world junior championships. Quinn said the Canucks may have struggled this year but he sees hope for the future. "When I came here in the 1970s it was hard to find a Canuck fan," he said. "Now we are all Canuck fans. "Thanks for how you treated me." Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
