SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Just because the Sacramento Kings were familiar with Tyreke Evans didnt mean they could stop him. The former NBA Rookie of the Year made a memorable return to Sacramento, scoring a season-high 25 points and adding 12 assists to help the New Orleans Pelicans snap a four-game losing streak with a 113-97 win over the Kings on Monday night. "I know they have no shot blockers, so I was attacking every chance I got," said Evans, who made 7 of 14 shots and hit 11 of 12 free throws after coming off the bench. "Im quick enough to take it to the basket. Thats what I do best. I wanted to be aggressive." Known for his slashing style of play and his uncanny ability to get to the rim in four seasons with the Kings, Evans stayed true to his game, bypassing perimeter shots in favour of going to the hoop. He also added six rebounds and three steals. "He got wherever he wanted to go. Nobody could keep in front of him and thats how he gets to the rim," Kings coach Michael Malone said. "If our guys didnt think he would try to come into this arena and get off, then I question their IQ. He played here and hes going to come here and try to show everybody what were missing. And he did." Evans averaged 17.5 points in his four seasons with the Kings. He joined the Pelicans in the off-season as part of a three-team trade and subsequently signed a four-year, $44 million contract. The Pelicans pulled away in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Kings 36-23 to salvage their only victory on a five-game road trip. Evans was a major factor in the second half, scoring 13 points. "I just told the guys that this is just about us getting stops and our defence had to prevail in the fourth quarter and I thought it did," New Orleans coach Monty Williams said. DeMarcus Cousins had 24 points and 14 rebounds for the Kings, who committed 22 turnovers in losing for the sixth time in eight games. Isaiah Thomas had 21 points and Marcus Thornton had 19. Rudy Gay made 2-of -12 shots and scored 11 points. "First of all, we didnt get stops," Kings guard Isaiah Thomas said. "Secondly, we didnt dial in on that end of the floor and he made every play. He scored, he passed, and he did what he wanted." Anthony Davis had 21 points and 11 rebounds for New Orleans. Jrue Holiday had 17 points and 10 assists, and Eric Gordon also had 17 points. Ryan Anderson, who grew up in the Sacramento region, had a difficult evening trying to contain Cousins at the defensive end. Anderson went to the bench with five fouls at the 8:17 mark in the fourth quarter. The Pelicans leading scorer missed 3 of 9 shots and had eight points.

It was a harsh day of cross-examination for Pistorius, challenged relentlessly about his account of the moments just before he killed Reeva Steenkamp, as well as circumstances related to several firearms charges against him, including the firing of a gun in a crowded restaurant.Greater Manchester mayor Tony Lloyd has called for a full inquiry into Sundays fiasco at Old Trafford and insists someone will be held accountable. Greater Manchester Police have confirmed that a device described as a life-like bomb was accidentally left by a private company at the stadium following a training exercise involving explosive sniffer dogs held last Wednesday. A controlled explosion was carried out at Old Trafford on Sunday Manchester Uniteds final Premier League game of the season at home to Bournemouth was abandoned before kick-off and the stadium evacuated, before being re-arranged for Tuesday night. The match will be shown live on Sky Sports 1 HD (programme starts 7.30pm, kick-off 8pm). And Lloyd, who is also the countys police crime commissioner, said: It is outrageous this situation arose.A full inquiry is required to urgently find out how this happened, why it happened and who will be held accountable. Tony Lloyd, who is also police crime commissioner, wants a full inquiry This fiasco caused massive inconvenience to supporters who had come from far and wide to watch the match, wasted the time of huge numbers of police officers and the armys bomb squad.It also unnecessarily put people in danger, as evacuating tens of thousands of people from a football stadium is not without risk. Whilst this in no way demeans the professionalism oof the police and stewards responsible for getting the fans out, or the supporters calmness and cooperation during the evacuation, it is unacceptable that it happened in the first place.dddddddddddd Manchester Uniteds stadium was evacuated after a suspicious device was found Security expert Brian Painter said the episode had been the result of a horrendous mistake.It shouldnt be happening, he said. There are certain procedures and protocols that every single football club will have in place to sweep and search through all of the stands and public areas well before every match.Finding a device in a public bathroom thats potentially been there since last Wednesday is a horrendous omission. The fault can only lie with the company that was contracted in to come in and do that searching. It can only lie with them. It should have been picked up. Mistakes do happen, however this is a very, very basic thing. If you put out four or five devices, you expect to get four or five devices back in. Its that simple.
