U-Prep���s Jurin slices through Mercy By ANDRE BYIK DN Sports Editor Sometimes it takes just one player. University Prep���s Kelsie Jurin drove through Mercy���s defense Wednesday at Mercy High School to lift the Panthers to a 6644 victory. Jurin���s 33 points was more than half of her team���s total in the contest. She also was a perfect 4-of-4 from the free-throw line. Mercy center Jessica Curl did what she could in the post, bringing in a double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds, but it wouldn���t be enough to hold off UPrep, which improved to 9-4 on their season. The Lady Panthers' balanced scoring in the first put U-Prep up 14-7 on the Warriors going into the second. Then Jurin took over. The 5-foot-6 sophomore guard scored 15 of the Panthers��� 20 points in the period. Curl, for her part, scored 11 points in the quarter but the Warriors would head into the half down 34-18. Jurin continued her prolific scoring night with eight points in the third and six in the fourth. Mercy next faces Chester at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at Mercy High School.

NBA | Kings 97, Cavaliers 94 Sacramento grabs road win over Cleveland CLEVELAND (AP) ��� Jason Thompson and the Sacramento Kings overcame their shortcomings for a rare road win. Thompson had 19 points and 10 rebounds and DeMarcus Cousins added 18, leading the Kings to their second road win of the season, a 97- 94 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. ������We���ve got enough talent to win on the road, but we���re not strong enough yet to recognize it���s about patience and playing the clock, as well as what happens when you have the ball,������ Kings coach Keith Smart said. John Salmons��� 3-pointer from the corner with 52.9 seconds remaining gave Sacramento the lead for good, 92-90. The win broke a seven-game losing streak away from home for the Kings, who are 2-13 on the road and played without injured guards Tyreke Evans and Marcus Thornton, their second and third leading scorers. The Kings��� previous road win was a 99-80 victory over Portland on Dec. 8. Salmons��� clutch shot came after See KINGS, page 2B
