Ball, No. 4 UConn push winning streak to 10 games with 73-57 win over visiting Marquette
Solo Ball scored 11 of his 17 points in the second half and Tarris Reed Jr. finished with 13 points and nine rebounds as No. 4 UConn rolled to a 73-57 win over visiting Marquette on Sunday to extend its winning streak to 10 games.
Michael Porter Jr. leads Nets to impressive 127-115 win over Nuggets
NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Porter Jr. had 27 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in his first game against his former team, and the Brooklyn Nets beat the Denver Nuggets 127-115 on Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak.
The Nuggets got Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun back from lengthy injury absences and a huge game from Jamal Murray, but fell to 1-2 since Nikola Jokic was lost for perhaps a month with a hyperextended left knee.
Murray finished with 27 points, a career-high 16 assists and six rebounds. Gordon had 20 points off the bench after missing 19 games with a strained right hamstring, while Braun started and scored four points after he sat out 23 games with a sprained left ankle.
Noah Clowney added 22 points for the Nets, while Cam Thomas and Day’Ron Sharpe each had 17. Sharpe started at center with Nic Claxton out for personal reasons.
Porter played six seasons for the Nuggets after being taken with the No. 14 pick in the 2018 draft and was a starter on their 2023 NBA championship team. He was traded to Brooklyn in the offseason for Cam Johnson and came in averaging a career-high 25.8 points.
He scored nine points in the second quarter and Brooklyn led 59-52 at halftime after Murray’s jumper with 0.2 seconds to play.
The Nets quickly opened it up again in the third quarter. Brooklyn was 7 for 9 from three-point range in the period, scoring 41 points and taking a 100-84 advantage to the fourth.
Tim Hardaway Jr. had two three-pointers to open the fourth and cut it to 10, but Thomas had the last seven points of a 12-0 spurt that blew it open at 112-90.
Hardaway scored 26 but Denver fell to 1-4 on its seven-game East Coast trip. Johnson sat out with a knee injury.

Keegan Murray's future status uncertain after ankle injury in Kings vs. Bucks
Keegan Murray's future status uncertain after ankle injury in Kings vs. Bucks originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Keegan Murray’s injury status remains unknown after the Kings’ tough 115-98 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night at Golden 1 Center.
The 25-year-old was ruled out with a left ankle sprain in the third quarter and was helped to the locker room after an awkward landing due to mid-air contact with Bucks center Myles Turner.
Sacramento coach Doug Christie couldn’t share much about Murray’s status with reporters postgame.
“I don’t know yet,” Christie said. “So, it’s not even for me to speculate. Obviously, we’ll get everything, and you guys will know as soon as we do.”
Murray had just recovered from a two-game absence due to a calf injury and returned to the Kings’ starting lineup in Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Clippers.
He was off to a strong start against the Bucks, posting 12 points on 6-of-13 shooting with two blocks, one steal and three rebounds over 27 minutes.
Murray’s mobility particularly was on display, as he made a pair of coast-to-coast highlights in the first quarter after intercepting a Giannis Antetokounmpo pass and later stuffing Bobby Portis Jr.
The last thing Sacramento needed after its record worsened to 8-28 following the loss to Milwaukee was another injury to deal with.
But after Zach LaVine returned to action on Sunday upon recovering from a left ankle injury that had sidelined him for nine games, Christie now has to wait and see — and work with — a potentially hobbled or sidelined Murray.
The injury bug truly is decimating the Kings.
“It’s hard, man,” Christie said. “You feel for your kids, first and foremost … It’s just difficult … yeah.”
Sacramento has lost five games in a row.
Next up, the Kings have an 8 p.m. matchup with the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday at American Airlines Center, and it’s to be determined if Murray will be available.

Watford ‘did not agree to postponement’ of Hull match 18 minutes before kick-off
Match at MKM Stadium called off due to safety concerns
Visitors insist they ‘were ready and willing to play’
Watford have criticised the decision to call off their Championship match at Hull 18 minutes before kick-off on Sunday – and have claimed they did not agree to the postponement.
The referee, Anthony Backhouse, called the game off due to safety concerns over areas surrounding the pitch while the players were already warming up. The MKM Stadium clash was one of three second-tier fixtures to fall by the wayside due to frozen pitches, while 14 games across Leagues One and Two were also postponed.
