HOUSTON -- Given the lack of drama in the second half, it was easy to chuckle at how the Rockets fumbled away an opportunity to set an NBA single-game record for 3-pointers on Wednesday night in their blowout win over the Sacramento Kings.The Rockets (19-7) won their eighth consecutive game by, in part, sinking 22 3-pointers in their 34-point victory. Houston shares the NBA record of 23 with the Golden State Warriors, and after rookie forward Kyle Wiltjer nailed a 3 with 3:55 left, the Rockets were one away from that mark. They closed the game by taking six of their final seven shots inside the arc to squander their shot at a new league mark.But the bigger picture is this: Houston has hit at least 20 3-pointers in a game twice this season after having done so only twice previously in franchise history. Second-year forward Sam Dekker expressed confidence that this group will get another shot at the record this season, and with four Rockets ranked in the top 11 league-wide in 3-pointers, Dekker has every reason to forecast another record run.Each person has their job on this team. Its a specific group thats really put together well, said Rockets forward Ryan Anderson, whose 65 treys rank 11th in the NBA and fourth on the team behind Eric Gordon (93), James Harden (76) and Trevor Ariza (70). And everybody accepts their role here. There are rare teams where everybody comes together as a cohesive unit rather than trying to play too much one-on-one or look out for themselves. And its fun. Its an unselfish style of basketball.The Rockets, who will host the New Orleans Pelicans (9-18) on Friday night at Toyota Center, did get a bit of bad news with the announcement that forward Donatas Motiejunas rights were renounced and that he was an unrestricted free agent. Motiejunas and the Rockets had been in a prolonged stalemate regarding his contract status and his health. The resolution reached may ultimately hurt the team.The Pelicans, meanwhile, snapped a 10-game losing skid against the Indiana Pacers with their 102-95 home win on Thursday night. All-Star forward Anthony Davis posted his seventh 35-point, 15-rebound game this season with 35 points and 16 boards while rookie guard Buddy Hield scored a career-high 21 points.Perhaps the biggest positive for the Pelicans was the return of swingman Tyreke Evans, who played in his first game in 11 months after being sidelined by multiple right knee surgeries and a blood clot in his calf. His previous appearance was Jan. 25.Evans finished with seven points, three rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes. With Evans and guard Jrue Holiday, who missed the first 12 games of the season, back in the fold, the Pelicans are inching closer to finally being whole again.Getting out there running with my teammates in an actual game was exciting for me, Evans said. Ive been doing practices ... but its definitely different in a game.The first couple of minutes I just wanted to get out there and catch a feel for the game and get my feet wet. When I hit that 3 (with 9:29 remaining in the fourth quarter) and that Euro step, I felt like I was ready to go. Wholesale Jerseys . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter. DENVER -- Mark Reynolds had never broken a bone until five weeks ago. Now hes done it twice, and his 2016 season is ending early.Reynolds homered but later had a bone in his left hand broken by a pitch in the Colorado Rockies 6-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday.Reynolds broke the hamate bone in his left hand on Aug. 12 and it was surgically removed three days later. He bounced back quickly and returned to the lineup Aug. 31.This recovery wont be as quick.Reynolds was struck by Jose Dominguezs pitch with one out in the fifth inning.Thatll be it for him, manager Walt Weiss said. He worked hard to get back from that hamate very quickly and its unfortunate he wont be able to get to the finish line with us.It put a damper on Colorados sweep of the Padres. Tony Wolters had three hits and Chad Bettis pitched into the sixth for the Rockies.Its tough. Ive never broken a bone in my life and I have two this year in the same hand, Reynolds said. Going to get it better and get ready for next year.San Diego played a day after Yangervis Solarte lost his wife, Yuliett, following a battle with cancer. The third baseman was with his family Sunday and was on the minds of everyone in the organization.Adam Rosales paid tribute to his teammate with a jump and a clap at home plate after his homer in the second inning, mimicking Solartes home run celebration.We talked about it before the game today. If somebody hit a home run, wed do the alligator arm for Solarte, Rosales said. It was just a tribute. I feel like it would mean a lot to Solarte to know how much he means to us, how much his family means to the San Diego Padres.Padres manager Andy Green said before the game that there is no timetable for Solarte to rejoin the team.Everybodys heart breaks for him right now, Padres manager Andy Green said. Hes had infectious energy all year long, and when you can consider the circumstances of his life, its hard to fathom. So from our perspective, `Hey, whenever you want to be back, you can come back. If you dont want to be back in the last two weeks, you dont have to be back.ddddddddddddBut well continue to talk to him, offer our love and support, anything we can possibly do for his family from a logistics perspective.Before the game, the Rockies held a moment of silence for Yuliett.Im sure it was a tough day for them to play, Weiss said. You lose a family member, Im sure there are a lot of heavy hearts over there. It certainly puts things in perspective.Bettis (13-7) allowed three runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings. He won for the third time in his last four starts and helped himself with two walks and an RBI.Adam Ottavino pitched the ninth for his fifth save.Padres starter Jarred Cosart (0-4) ran into trouble in the fourth when the Rockies took control. Reynolds hit a two-run homer and the Rockies loaded the bases with a single and two walks.Dominguez walked in another run before giving up a two-run single to Carlos Gonzalez to make it 5-1.The Rockies made it 6-1 when Dominguez hit Reynolds and pinch-runner Gerardo Parra scored on Wolters single.Reynolds said he knew he was hurt right away.Ive been hit in my hand a lot before and I never felt this kind of pain, he said. I dont have a radiology degree but I could see that it was broken.Reynolds hand was heavily wrapped and he said it will be re-examined Monday.Wil Myers double in the sixth cut the lead to 6-3 after Bettis bases-loaded walk gave Colorado a five-run cushion.Cosarts last turn in the rotation was skipped after he left his start on Sept. 7 because of a strained right groin and hamstring.TRAINERS ROOMPadres: C Derek Norris didnt start because of a jammed finger but was available off the bench.UP NEXTPadres: LHP Clayton Richard (2-2, 1.51 ERA) makes his seventh start for San Diego when the Padres open a three-game home series with Arizona.Rockies: LHP Tyler Anderson (5-5, 3.65) opens a three-game series against St. Louis on Monday.
