Girls FROM PAGE 1 109.1 points per game and has given up 120.8 over a four-game losing streak. "Defensively, we are not good," Divac said. "That's something we have to im- prove big. It would make a difference. Our offense is stable, but defensively we go on and off." Divac said he believes in his players, but didn't rule out adding pieces to help defensively — or in other areas — before next Thursday's trading dead- line. "We do have what we need, but still like every other organization, if it's something that will im- prove us we will do it," he said. "But, now, we are happy with the group." Karl declined to offer more specifics about their meeting. The coach said specu- lation about his job won't add extra pressure. "That's your world," he said. "My world is basket- ball, the gym and players. Your world is interpreta- tion, innuendo, gossip. I'm not into it." Kings star DeMarcus Cousins and Karl have struggled to work together. The All-Star center has not hid his emotions or frustra- tions. Karl says he thinks the team's funk is temporary. Meanwhile, he says he won't be bothered by the criticism that comes with losing. "When you're younger, you're always a little more into what people are say- ing and what people think of you," said the 64-year- old Karl, who is coaching his sixth NBA team after time in Cleveland, Golden State, Seattle, Milwaukee and Denver. "As you get older, I think you learn you have no con- trol over that. You can do your job perfectly in this league and if you don't ful- fill expectations, you're going to be criticized," he said. Last year, Karl became the Kings' third coach in one season. He took over following the 2015 All- Star break, succeeding Ty- rone Corbin. Corbin had been promoted from top assistant to replace the fired Michael Malone. Karl coached Sacramento to an 11-19 record for the rest of the season. The Kings are in 10th place in the Western Con- ference and haven't made the playoffs in 10 years. Karl FROM PAGE 1 ager Vlade Divac on Tues- day. Losing to the 76ers, who dropped to 8-45, cer- tainly wouldn't have qui- eted Karl's critics though. Rookie Jahlil Okafor tied his career high with 26 points to go with 10 re- bounds, and Robert Cov- ington scored a career-high 29 points for the 76ers, who played without top big man Nerlens Noel. Noel, who is averaging 10.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks, was a late scratch due to right knee tendinitis. The 76ers controlled the game throughout and led by 12 entering the fourth quarter. Sacramento slowly chipped away at the lead and finally went in front on Cousins' 19-footer with 2 minutes, 19 seconds left that made it 106-105. The Kings were up 112-109 and had a chance to put the game away, but Cousins turned the ball over with 15.9 seconds remaining. Rather than let Philadel- phia try a tying 3-pointer, the Kings fouled Ish Smith and the 76ers guard made one of two. Collison then iced the game by making a pair of foul shots with 8.1 seconds left. Philadelphia's lead grew to as many as 17 points in the third quar- ter when Nik Stauskas hit a 3-pointer to make it 73- 56 with 7:32 left in the pe- riod. The Kings scored 11 of the next 13 over 3:05 to get within 75-67. However, Cousins was forced to the bench on Philadelphia's ensuing possession when he picked up his fourth foul and the 76ers took ad- vantage, stretching their lead to 87-75 entering the fourth quarter. Karl took the previous 48 hours in stride, saying speculation about his job wouldn't add extra pres- sure. Philadelphia led by as many as 16 in the opening half. Rudy Gay's emphatic dunk with 5.9 seconds left before intermission pulled Sacramento within 60-48 before Stauskas drained a 31-footer as time expired to put the 76ers up by 15 points at the break. Gay finished with 22 points. Stauskas had 16. Tip-Ins Kings: Gay and Caron Butler went out of their way to give handshakes and hugs to former 76ers great Allen Iverson, who made a courtside appear- ance. ... The Kings im- proved to 5-12 against Phil- adelphia since 2007-08. 76ers: Noel and Okafor will compete in the Rising Stars Challenge this week- end as part of the All-Star Game festivities in To- ronto. ... Philadelphia led by as many as 19 points in its 98-92 overtime loss against the Clippers on Monday. ... F Richaun Holmes re- turned after missing the last three games with an ankle injury. He had eight points. Up Next Kings: Host Denver on Feb. 19. 76ers: At New Orleans on Feb. 19. Kings FROM PAGE 1 after one quarter. But the Warriors took off with a 16-0 second-quarter run. Curry sank a 28-foot 3-pointer, followed imme- diately by a 29-footer, and Draymond Green made a pair of free throws to put Golden State up 53-35 with 2:15 left in the half. The Warriors led 57-43 at the break. With the lead down to 91-81 with 9:43 to play, Shaun Livingston com- pleted a three-point play and Thompson sank a 3 to put the Warriors comfort- ably in control 97-81. Suns Scuffle Morris and Goodwin got into a heated exchange on the bench during an early timeout. Television replays showed it started with Morris vehemently saying something to Goodwin. He appeared to slap Mor- ris' hand away, then a lot of shoving ensued. Goodwin came out of the game for the remainder of the first quarter. Tip-Ins Warriors: Curry sank a 3-pointer for the 123rd consecutive game, four shy of Kyle Korver's NBA record.
