NEW YORK, N.Y. - Lionel Hollins might have a pair of starters coming off the bench making a combined $35 million, but hes not about to tinker with his lineup now that the Brooklyn Nets are starting to play better.With centre Brook Lopez and point guard Deron Williams reduced to reserve roles while recovering from injuries, Mason Plumlee continued his impressive play with 20 points, Jarrett Jack had 16, and the Nets beat the Sacramento Kings 107-99 on Monday night.This is the Brooklyn Nets. Brook and Deron, yes, they were starters. Theyve been out and if you note, while they were out, we started playing better and winning, Hollins said. So why would I go back and change the lineup for now? I would hope that they would play better and they did.Lopez chipped in 11 points for the Nets, who bounced back from a 25-point loss to Indiana on Saturday night at Barclays Center and won for the fourth time in their last five games.I think that starting group has a great rhythm and things come easy when youre in unison and guys are really setting me up well, said Plumlee.He has started the last 11 games at centre averaging 16.2 points and 9.6 rebounds while Lopez has come off the bench the last four games after suffering a lower back strain Dec. 5Williams, whose career with the Nets has been hampered by ankle injuries, strained his right calf during a game at Cleveland on Dec. 8 and missed two games. Jack took over, averaging 19.4 points and 5.4 assists.Were winning man, thats all that matters, Williams said. We have team guys. Were not selfish. Were not bigger than the team. That first group is definitely rocking right now.Brooklyn scored 25 points off 21 turnovers by the Kings, who dropped the first game of a four-game road trip.Rudy Gay had 25 points and DeMarcus Cousins added 24 points and 13 rebounds for the Kings, whove lost 13 of their last 17 games.Since Sacramento coach Tyrone Corbin replaced Mike Malone on Dec. 15, the Kings have gone 2-5.Cousins is having an All-Star worthy season and came into the night averaging 29.3 points and 11 rebounds in his previous four games. He thought that the Kings needed to show more urgency and act like we cared.Ill put it like this, when you go through situations like this and things get tough, you start to see peoples . true colours. Youre going to see whos really in it and whos really not, Cousins said. As bad as this may seem, its also a good thing because youre going to know whos ready to go to battle with you every night.The Nets led 93-83 with 5:53 left in the fourth quarter after a layup by Williams, but Gay then scored five straight points in a 26-second span, including a 3-pointer, that cut the lead to 93-88 with 5:12 to play.Reserve forward Mirza Teletovic led an 8-2 run with a pair of 3-pointers and Plumlee scored on a layup that increased Brooklyns lead to 101-90 with 3:29 to go. After a Sacramento timeout, Cousins thunderous dunk reduced the deficit to 101-92 before Plumlee answered with a dunk of his own that made it 103-92.Collison then scored five straight points, including a 3-pointer and a pair of free throws after Teletovic fouled him on a 3-point attempt, cutting the lead to 103-97 with 43.6 seconds left. But Jack and Johnson combined to hit four straight free throws that put the game out of reach for the Kings.___TIP-INSKings: Guard Ramon Sessions missed his third straight game due to a lower back strain. .

Tiger Williams Jersey . -- The defending Canadian womens curling champions squandered an opportunity to take sole possession of first place in the standings Tuesday at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.When Kevin Martin decided to retire this year, he thought hed have plenty of company. The dean of Canadian curlers -- with four national titles, a world championship, both a gold and silver at the Olympics and a record 18 Grand Slams on the World Curling Tour -- looked around and saw plenty his age or older holding brooms. "I thought this year there would be a lot of guys retiring," Martin, 47, said Tuesday. "I thought I would just be one of the many. As it turns out, Im the only one. Theres nobody else, Im the only guy!" Instead of retiring, other senior skips have played a game of musical chairs as teams have reformed and players have moved about the country. And Martin says the desire to secure that all-important Olympic berth is the reason. "The shuffling I think is completely because of the Olympics and that curling has become a four-year sport," he said. Younger teams are looking at skips at or near 50-plus and wondering whether they have what it takes to compete, not just next season but also down the road. And those skips who have never won that Olympic berth (as Martin did three times, failing to earn a medal in 1992) are reluctant to give up while they think theres still a chance. Manitobas Jeff Stoughton, 50, who has parted ways with his former team and formed a new one and Ontarios Glenn Howard, 51, who has seen his squad fragment as well, are cases in point. "Its hard I think for young guys to be with a 50, 51, 52 or whatever age guy and think four years down the road," Martin said. "Thats not easy. "Jeff and Glenn still play brilliantly but will they in four years? I dont think they can answer that." The result has been a lot of movement. "Its really exciting. Its probably the most excitement Ive seen in our sport in a long time," said Martin. "I think the young guys that are coming up are dealing with it really well by doing all of these shakeups and trying to figure out how they can get the very, very best team." The latest move was Kevin Koes former Alberta team, which is the reigning national champion, picking up former B.C. skip John Morris on Tuesday to take them into key events next season, including a return trip to the Tim Hortons Brier. Its the first time the current mens champion will get an automatic ticket without haviing to win a provincial title.dddddddddddd Two younger teams at the elite level remain intact: Olympic gold-medallist Brad Jacobs, 28, and his team from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., and Mike McEwen, 33, from Winnipeg. Former Olympic champ Brad Gushue, 33, from Newfoundland and Labrador has made only one move, returning former teammate Mark Nichols, who had been curling with Stoughton. After finishing out of the medals at the world championships, Koe, 39, announced a new team that includes Marc Kennedy at third, Ben Hebert at lead and Brent Laing at second. Kennedy and Hebert won Olympic gold with Martin and Laing was a two-time world champion with Howard. "Those are your top four I think going forward," said Martin of those four teams. After watching all the moves, though, does Martin have any second thoughts about his decision to quit the game? "I am so ready. To be honest with you, I think I was ready after Vancouver," he insists. But Martin recognizes that had he pulled the plug then, at the age of 43, he might have come out of retirement. Theres no chance of that now. "Im in a real good spot, Im busy outside the ice," he said. "Theres tons of stuff going on." First, hes got a new job as a broadcaster and curling ambassador with Rogers Sportsnet. Then theres his curling store in Edmonton, part interest in a golf-course development in Phoenix and his curling academies to run. For Martin, the icing on the cake this year was going out a winner after being disappointed at the Olympic curling trials. He beat Jacobs 4-3 in the mens final Sunday to win the Players Championship in the final tournament of his career, his 18th Grand Slam win on the professional tour he played a role in developing. "To have the 18th Slam work out . . . it makes it all that much easier," he said. As for the only thing he regrets in a lifetime of curling, it was that failure to medal in 1992, when curling was still an Olympic demonstration sport. He knew he wasnt good enough to win gold that year. "But then we played the U.S. in the bronze game and thats a game I think we should have won," Martin said. For one thing, it would have given him one of each medal. "The one game . . . over all the years that Id like to have back is that bronze game in 1992," he added.
