Sacramento, CA (SportsNetwork.
Bruce
Matthews Authentic Jersey .com) - DeMarcus Cousins was at his best on
Wednesday, pouring in 30 points with 11 rebounds in just 22 minutes of action as
his Sacramento Kings beat the Denver Nuggets for the second time this week with
a 131-109 decision. Cousins shot 10-of-14 from the floor and made 10 of his 11
free throws for the Kings, winners in four straight after opening the season
with a home loss to Golden State. They topped the Nuggets in Denver on Monday,
110-105. Playing defense, I believe, helps build chemistry. We trust in one
another and its going over to the other side of the floor, Cousins said. Rudy
Gay continued his hot start to the season with 29 points, and Carl Landry added
18 off the bench. Randy Foyes 19 points led the way for Denver, which got 13
points and nine assists from Ty Lawson. Every game is going to be a tough game
for us, weve not that good right now, Nuggets coach Brian Shaw said. Denvers
only lead of the game came early on, when Chandlers triple made it 3-2. Ben
McLemore hit two free throws and a turn-around jumper at the other end, and
Sacramento led the rest of the way. Cousins nearly matched the Nuggets by
himself in the first quarter, scoring 16 to their 19. Gay chipped in with nine,
Darren Collison scored seven and the Kings led 40-19 after one. Denver
controlled the second quarter, opening the frame on a 6-0 run and pulling back
within nine points midway through after Foyes 3-pointer. Twice the deficit
reached eight, but Cousins dunk seconds before halftime made it 68-54. The third
quarter played out much like the first, with the Kings asserting their
dominance. Two Gay free throws at 7:09 capped a 14-4 run, and the rout was back
on. Sacramento led 105-72 after three and cruised with its reserves down the
stretch. Game Notes The Kings won the rebounding margin, 40-32 ... Omri Casspi
scored 11 off the Kings bench. Collison had 10 points and eight assists ...
Sacramento kicks off a four-game road trip in Phoenix on Friday.

outing of the fall in their seventh and second to last exhibition tilt against
their stiffest competition yet, but they lost a couple starters in the
process.TORONTO - Like his playing days, Gordie Howes career as an author has
spanned decades.Mr. Hockey: My Story arrives almost 30 years after And ...
Howe!: An Authorized Autobiography by Gordie and Colleen Howe, and 25 years
after Gordie Howe: My Hockey Memories by Howe and Frank Condron.Howes Hall of
Fame career has spawned books by others, including Nine: A Salute to Mr. Hockey,
by Bob Duff. Son Mark Howe wrote his own book Gordie Howes Son, A Hall of Fame
Life in the Shadow of Mr. Hockey.Sixty-eight years after his NHL debut, Gordie
Howes story is still a good read a€” a slice of Canadiana.Born in 1928 in
Floral, Sask., Howe grew up in Saskatoon during the Great Depression. Howe
relates that on the day he was born, his mother was chopping wood when the
labour pains began. Howe was the sixth of nine children so she knew what to do.
She cut the umbilical cord herself and waited for her husband to come home.It
was another era. There was no indoor plumbing and the Howe kids took a lot of
their baths at school. An eight-year-old Howe delivered pamphlets for a local
grocery store. He hunted gophers with a handmade slingshot for a penny a tail
and sold fish he caught to a Chinese restaurant for five or 10 cents apiece.Howe
writes how his father Albert taught him not to take dirt from anyone, because if
you do theyll just keep giving it to you. Its a life lesson that served Gordie
well during his long hockey career. The book is filled with stories of Howe
waiting to take revenge on the ice.Respect equals space, Howe soon
learned.Rangers tough guy Lou Fontinato ultimately paid the price for carving
open Howes face with his stick in early 1959. Howe bided his time before
thumping him up in a one-sided fight that left his rival bloodied with a
relocated nose. Howe dislocated a finger during the beating.It didnt make me
happy to see Louie in such bad shape, but I cant say I felt sorry for him,
writes Howe.Both were doing their jobs, he reasoned, and one of them was going
to get hurt.Later, wife Colleen convinced Howe to invite Fontinato to a charity
fundraising dinner in Vancouver. He accepted and the two became firm
friends.Howe waited four games before cold-cocking Stan Mikita for another stick
violation. Some might call it a cheap shot, he admitted. To my way of thinking,
though, it was just payback.Howes awkward courting of Colleen a€” as well as his
sappy letters to her a€” offer a very different view of the hard man on the
ice.Colleen, who died in 2009, was Howes rock as well as his partner. She went
on to become a canny business manager a€” the book notes both Mr. and Mrs.
Hockey are regisstered trademarks.
Steve
McNair Jersey. Howe was just 15 in his first NHL training camp, in 1943
with the Rangers. With players away at war, NHL teams were scouring for
talent.But he launched his NHL career as a Red Wing, making his debut Oct. 16,
1946, against the Maple Leafs.Again, it was a different era. Howe writes how
general manager Jack Adams wielded almost total control over his players, whom
he traded like hockey cards. Adams, whom Howe calls Mr. Adams, disapproved of
booze, sex and women a€” even wives a€” because he saw them as distractions.Howe
admits to being naive in his business dealings, learning years later the club
had lied to him about how good his salary was in comparison to others.While not
a tell-all book, Howe does not hide his occasional discontent with the Detroit
organization or teammates. And Howe, while respectful to todays game and
players, clearly believes the Original Six era was tougher.Thats not the same as
saying that todays players arent tough, just that the game itself has changed,
he writes. When there were only six teams, every player in the league came
prepared to claw over his best friend the second the puck dropped.Howes
longevity as a player a€” he was 52 when he retired at the end of the 1979-80
season after 32 pro campaigns a€” is stunning when he lists the price his body
paid on the ice. He estimates his nose has been broken 14 times and he has taken
more than 300 stitches to the face.He has broken fingers, toes, wrists, feet and
collarbone as well as had a hole drilled in his skull after a 1940 encounter
with Teeder Kennedy. There were knee surgeries and a detached retina.These days,
Howe bears a different cross.In an afterword from Marty, Mark and Murray Howe
and Cathy Purnell, the Howe children cite Gordies cognitive impairment, a form
of dementia, the past few years.It has been a very slow decline over many years,
although it has become more noticeable recently, they write. His memory just
isnt what it once was.At 86, Gordie is becoming frail for the first time in his
life. It is sad to see him struggle at things we all take for granted, things he
wouldnt have given a second thought only a short time ago.Howe lives with his
kids, rotating from one house to another.Howe has the sole writing credit,
although in his acknowledgments he thanks Paul Haavardsrud who helped to take
the thoughts in my head and put them down on paper.The book, which features a
foreword from Bobby Orr and back-page blurb by Wayne Gretzky, comes out Oct. 14.
