LOS ANGELES -- The Milwaukee Bucks caught the Los Angeles Lakers in one of their worst ruts in decades, and Brandon Knight was able to take full advantage. Tarvarius Moore Jersey . Knight scored 18 of his career-high 37 points in the third quarter, and the team with the NBAs worst record beat the injury-jinxed Lakers 94-79 on Tuesday night. "My teammates did a great job of running the floor and running the lanes and creating plays for one another, and I think that opened it up for me and a lot of other guys," Knight said. "But it started with our defence. We got after it. Part of that was them missing shots, but I want to give credit to our guys for contesting those shots." The Lakers ended the year the same way they began it -- with six straight losses. They had never ended a calendar year with more than three consecutive defeats in any of the franchises 65 previous seasons. Los Angeles will begin the new year 13-19 -- the teams first losing record since the 2002-03 season, when they also started out 13-19 following their third straight championship. The year was a distinctly sobering one for the Lakers, who mourned the passing of flamboyant owner Jerry Buss, longtime executive Bill Sharman and Vern Mikkelsen, who helped the team win four NBA titles in Minneapolis. They also got swept in the first round of the playoffs and had star-crossed Kobe Bryant in the lineup for only six games so far this season. Adding insult to Bryants injuries was the end of a 320-game home sellout streak last month. "I know an historic franchise like the Los Angeles Lakers will be fine," said Bucks forward Caron Butler, who spent the 2004-05 season with the Lakers. "Not having Jerry Buss at the helm anymore is a significant loss, but Jeanie and Jim and the rest of the Buss family know the business of basketball. They know the legacy of their father, and to restore that would be a wonderful feeling." Pau Gasol and Nick Young scored 25 points each for the Lakers, who shot 35.8 per cent from the field. Young, who led the team in scoring in each of the previous six games as a reserve, made his seventh start of the season. Gasol, who had missed three straight games and four of the previous six because of a sinus infection and bronchitis, returned to a talent-starved Lakers lineup already missing Bryant, Steve Nash and Steve Blake. Point guard Jordan Farmar played 21 scoreless minutes in his fourth game since returning from a torn hamstring, and sat out the fourth quarter after the hamstring tightened up. "We are down at the bottom," said coach Mike DAntoni, who used his eighth different starting lineup in as many games and 17th in 32 contests. "The injuries have torn everybody up, but we have to band together and figure it out. I thought Pau played hard, though he was rusty at first. He didnt look good in the first quarter, but then he picked it up." Trailing by 20 points with 9:43 remaining, the Lakers closed to 86-79 with a 26-4 run capped by Kendall Marshalls 3-pointer with 3:21 to play. But the determined Bucks were able to close it out for their second victory in 10 games. The Lakers were coming off narrow losses to Utah and Philadelphia, who entered Tuesday a combined 19-45 and last in their respective divisions when they faced them. DAntonis undermanned squad was even worse against a Milwaukee lineup that came in 6-24. But the Bucks beat them for the fourth time in five meetings, after winning only five of the previous 30. The Lakers missed their first 11 shots while the Bucks opened the game with a 14-0 run. Los Angeles didnt get its first field goal until Gasol hit a 14-footer from the lane with 5:08 left in the first quarter, but Milwaukee extended its margin to 21-4 on Ersan Ilyasovas 19-footer about 2 minutes later. Luke Ridnour made his fourth start of the season for Milwaukee and scored 11 points in 36 minutes. Frontcourt swingman John Henson missed his second straight game because of a high left ankle sprain that occurred on Dec. 20, and is expected to be sidelined for at least two more contests. NOTES: The Bucks, who entered the NBA in 1968-69, are 2-6 on New Years Eve. The only other victory came on the final day of 1969, when they beat the San Diego Rockets 143-126 in regulation with 35 points from future Laker Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. ... The Lakers are 8-4 on New Years Eve and 4-2 since moving from Minneapolis to Los Angeles. ...

Jimmy Garoppolo Jersey . -- Oakland Athletics starting pitchers Jarrod Parker and A. Fred Warner 49ers Jersey . Ive said it before, Ive worked with top pros and I could have made my own program. http://www.49ersauthoritystore.com/Authentic-Fred-Warner-49ers-Jersey/ . Mired in an offensive slump, Lowry - the NBAs leader in taking charges this season - did what he has learned to do best, standing his ground and drawing a crucial offensive foul on the Cavaliers all-star point guard. Fast forward 30 seconds to the Cavs next possession, with the home team still trailing by three, Spencer Hawes - one of the leagues best passing big men - threw an interception, intended for Tyler Zeller and picked off by DeMar DeRozan.ALAMEDA, Calif. - The Oakland Raiders responded to their first win of the season with their most lopsided loss in more than a half-century.Interim coach Tony Sparano wants to make sure there isnt a repeat after the Raiders won their second game by beating the San Francisco 49ers 24-13 on Sunday.Sparano gave the players the day off Monday and said when they return to practice on Wednesday the focus for the Raiders (2-11) will solely be on this weeks game at Kansas City (7-6).We need to make sure that we just focus on us right now going into this, Sparano said. We need to understand and learn from what happened to us two weeks ago. Like I said, there is a reason why I said, Dont forget this feeling because here we are again.After opening the season with 10 straight losses, the Raiders got their first win by beating the Chiefs 24-20 at home on Nov. 20. Despite the talk about wanting to build on that win instead of just savoring it, the Raiders came out the following week and lost 52-0 at St Louis, their most lopsided defeat since a 55-0 loss to Houston in the 1961 season opener.Sparano said he sensed problems early in the preparation week for the Rams game and that changes to the practice schedule because of Thanksgiving might have contributed.Those are some of the things that I didnt feel like I handled well during that week, probably could have looked at that a little differently, he said. Today was their atta boy day, and when we get in here on Wednesday well be moving right on to Kansas City.The win over the 49ers was probably Oaklands most complete in years. Rookie Derek Carr threw three touchdown passes and faced little prressure from San Franciscos formidable front. Jimmy Garoppolo 49ers Jersey. The Raiders also put heavy pressure on Colin Kaepernick, making a season-high five sacks and intercepting two passes.It all added up to a victory against their Bay Area rivals that puts a bright note on a rough season.People had us dead and buried last week, Sparano said. I mean, we were done. It was 52-0, everybody quit. This team is a resilient team. Ive said it all along. For some reason or another, nobody wants to listen, but Ive been saying it. This is the type of team they are and well decide when that time comes. That time is not now.With two wins in the past three games, Sparano is making a case to shed the interim label he got after replacing the fired Dennis Allen in September.Sparano said he knew those questions would be coming, but that someone above him would have to answer. Owner Mark Davis and general manager Reggie McKenzie have not addressed the coaching situation since Allen was fired.I was given a job to do several weeks ago, Sparano said. Im trying to do the job the way that I know how to do the job.NOTES: Sparano said he feared the worst when CB Tarell Brown went down with what looked like a serious leg injury in the second quarter. But Brown missed only three plays all game. Hes pretty tough, Sparano said. ... Sparano said he plans to talk to LB Sio Moore about an Instagram post that called Kaepernick a chump. I need to visit with Sio, find out exactly what went on, but I know there was a lot of jawing going on out there and it wasnt just one-sided, Sparano said.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap NFL T-shirts Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys China Discount NFL Jerseys ' ' '
