MIAMI -- DeMarcus Cousins went into the fourth quarter with no personal fouls. By the end of regulation, he had fouled out.And with that, Miamis home dominance over Sacramento continues.Goran Dragic scored 25 points, Tyler Johnson had seven of his 22 in overtime and the Heat beat the Kings 108-96 on Tuesday night -- Miamis 15th consecutive home win over Sacramento, the longest such current streak in the NBA.Remarkable, isnt it? Sacramento coach Dave Joerger said of Cousins six-foul final quarter, one that included three offensive fouls -- the last of those waving off what would have been a go-ahead basket with 30.6 seconds left.With Cousins reduced to spectating, the Heat outscored the Kings 17-5 in overtime.I think it was good for us to go through another emotional game, said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, whose team stopped a two-game slide. In the second half emotions were running high. A lot of frustration, a lot of elation, a lot of everything in between.Rudy Gay scored 30 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for Sacramento. Cousins also scored 30 for the Kings.Hassan Whiteside got his fourth double-double to start the season, 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Heat -- and drew the last foul against Cousins. Dragic added eight rebounds and eight assists, and Dion Waiters scored 20 points for Miami.Whiteside and Cousins were very careful with their words after the game when asked about fouls.Good, hard, competitive game, Cousins said.Said Whiteside, who was in foul trouble throughout the second half: I dont want to speak on that, because the NBA is going to take my money.The Heat wasted an 80-71 lead in the final six minutes of regulation.Gay went on a personal 7-0 run to turn a five-point deficit into an 89-87 lead on his jumper with 1:48 left. The Heat tied it twice from there, meaning the Kings lost two leads -- and then their star, too.We needed this one, Whiteside said.TIP-INSKings: Cousins was suspended for both Kings-Heat games last season, the second of those for exceeding the leagues 16 technicals-in-a-season limit. He picked up a tech Tuesday as well, already his third this season. ... The Kings shot 38 percent.Heat: Whiteside, who had an uncle succumb to prostate cancer on Monday and said playing Tuesday was difficult, is the second Heat player to start a season with four double-doubles. Rony Seikaly did it twice. ... The Heat are 4-2 on Spoelstras birthday; he turned 46 on Tuesday. They have played on Nov. 1 in each of the last four years.DUNK DIFFICULTYWhiteside and Cousins had some dunk difficulties in the third quarter. Whiteside went up for a two-hander early in the quarter, only to get it blocked by Cousins and wind up on his backside. About a minute later, Cousins had an open look at a dunk of his own and got stuffed by the front of the rim.HASLEM DEBUTSHeat captain Udonis Haslem got his first playing time of the season -- and officially making this his 14th Heat season, the most anyone has spent with the franchise. Among current players, only Dirk Nowitzki (19 seasons, Dallas), Tony Parker (16 seasons, San Antonio) and Manu Ginobili (15 seasons, San Antonio) have been with only one team for longer.UP NEXTKings: Visit Orlando on Thursday. Sacramento will be playing for the third time on this five-game, seven-day trip.Heat: Visit Toronto on Friday. Its Miamis first trip there since losing Game 7 of last seasons Eastern Conference semifinals. Cheap Milwaukee Bucks Jerseys . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Marshall Plumlee Jersey . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. http://www.cheapbucksjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-oscar-robertson-jersey . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Giannis Antetokounmpo Jersey . During the athletes parade, the 23-strong Ukrainian team was represented by a lone flagbearer in an apparent protest at the presence of Russian troops in Ukraines Crimean peninsula. Eric Bledsoe Jersey . That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions. Anthony had 24 points and nine rebounds, and the Knicks avenged an embarrassing home loss with a rout of their own, beating the Boston Celtics 114-88 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory. CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson cornerback Cordrea Tankersley wants to finish the season the right way.He is the lone returning starter from the third-ranked Tigers secondary last year, coming back for a final season and another shot at the national championship.Tankersley can help Clemson (9-0, 6-0 Atlantic Coast Conference; CFP No. 2 ) take a step toward that goal Saturday against Pitt (5-4, 2-3), a win giving the Tigers the ACC Atlantic and a spot in the leagues title game.It (feels) like we just started spring workouts last week, Tankersley said. Its really flying by now that its my senior season.Tankersley and Clemsons other seniors will take their solo run down Memorial Stadiums hill as part of senior day festivities. He understands theres much more to play for, starting with the game vs. the Panthers.Tankersley, a 6-foot-1, 200-pound defensive back considered a potential first-rounder in the NFL draft, feels he will leave the program better than when he arrived and deserving of their No. 2 spot in College Football Playoff ranking.This program is set basically forever, Tankersley said. We can play the best, Alabama, Michigan, you name it.Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said his team began the championship phase of its season last week with a 54-0 victory over Syracuse. He said the Tigers have stayed focused in preparation and risen to whatever challenge they face.These guys have really bought into what we do and how we do it, he said. Its just been a fun team.Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi is hoping to stop the fun times this week. He said his team is building itself in Clemsons model, starting with players who understand what it takes to succeed on the field.Guys that go out and play with heart and get after it and give you everything theyve got, have a chance, Narduzzi said.---Some other things to watch when third-ranked Clemson plays Pitt:SAYING GOODBYE: Seniors wont be the only ones taking a final home bow for Clemson on Saturday. Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said four juniors -- quarterback Deshaun Watson, tailback Wayne GGallman and receivers Mike Williams and Artavis Scott -- will be honored, too, since their plans are to forego their final seasons and turn pro.ddddddddddddTURNOVER TROUBLE: The Panthers were able to overcome their various defensive issues early in the season by showing a nose for the ball, creating nine turnovers over their first five games. Those kinds of plays have disappeared in recent weeks. Pitt has taken it away just once since the first weekend of October.STELLAR PLAYERS: The matchup between Pitt and Clemson -- the only time they played previously was the 1977 Gator Bowl -- also features the past two ACC players of the year in Panthers running back James Conner and Tigers quarterback Deshaun Watson. Conner has 712 yards and 11 TDs this fall. Watson has thrown 24 touchdown passes, two behind ACC leader Lamar Jackson of Louisville.HISTORY LESSON: Pitts last landscape shaking moment came in 2007, when the Panthers went to rival West Virginia and pulled off a 13-9 upset to spoil the Mountaineers chance of making the BCS title game. Dont expect Narduzzi to dig into the archives, however, in search of motivation. Today is what we sell, not what happened back in 1978 or `76 or `09, he said. Its what happens, you know, this Saturday. Weve just got to play the best football we can on Saturday. Nothing else matters.OH CANADA: The Panthers are averaging a robust 37 points a game (third in the ACC) despite being limited in the passing game, a testament to first-year offensive coordinator Matt Canadas creativity. Pitt uses a variety of misdirection and jet sweeps to get wide receivers involved in the running game. Offensive tackle Brian ONeill also has a pair of touchdowns this season out of unique formations that have helped the 6-foot-6, 300-pound converted tight end get open.---AP Sports Writer Will Graves contributed to this report.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
