Kings beat Trail Blazers
despite 35 from Lillard
By MICHAEL WAGAMAN

ACRAMENTO,
Calif.
— It hasn’t taken long
for Marvin Bagley III to
regain his rhythm in Sacramen-
to’s offense after missing 11
games with an injured left knee.
The second overall pick in the
draft still needs to improve his
free throw shooting in the fourth
quarter, but Bagley is defi nitely
giving the Kings’ second unit
S
quite a lift.
Bagley had 13 points and
11 rebounds for his fi fth dou-
ble-double,
De’Aaron
Fox
scored 16 points and made a key
3-pointer with 1:30 remaining,
and Sacramento beat the Port-
land Trail Blazers 115-107 on
Monday night.
“I feel like I was before I got
hurt,” Bagley said after his fourth
game back. “When I was out, I
still was around. I was still shoot-
ing, still was doing stuff. I wasn’t
just sitting out. I was getting in
shape, still making sure that I
was ready. It wasn’t hard to get
back into the swing of things.”
Bagley made a pivotal 14-foot
turnaround jumper early in the
fourth quarter, then went over the
back of Zach Collins and tipped
in an offensive rebound to put the
Kings up 100-88.
That anchored a big night
from Sacramento’s bench, which
outscored Portland’s reserves
58-34.
RALEIGH, N.C. —
Duke remained fi rmly
entrenched at No. 1 for a
fourth straight week in The
Associated Press men’s col-
lege basketball poll, which
was enough to give its Hall
of Fame coach another
record.
The Blue Devils led an
unchanged top 10 in Mon-
day’s AP Top 25 and spent
their sixth week on top this
season. That gave coach
Mike Krzyzewski his 122nd
week at No. 1 in the AP poll,
breaking a tie with the late
UCLA coach John Wooden
for the most in poll history.
Duke had set a program
record for most weeks at No.
1 in the AP poll in Novem-
ber, also by passing UCLA.
The Blue Devils stayed
at No. 1 after Atlantic Coast
Conference road wins at
Wake Forest and Flor-
ida State, the latter coming
on a last-second 3-pointer
by freshman Cam Red-
dish. Duke received 36 of
64 fi rst-place votes, but
was upset at home Monday
night by Syracuse in over-
time while losing freshman
point guard Tre Jones to a
shoulder injury in the fi rst
half. The school said Jones
is out indefi nitely as Duke
prepares to host No. 4 Vir-
ginia in a marquee league
matchup between ACC
favorites this weekend.
THE TOP TIER
Behind Duke, sec-
ond-ranked and unbeaten
Michigan earned nine fi rst-
place votes, third-ranked
Tennessee had 13 and Vir-
ginia — the only other
unbeaten team — had the
remaining six. That quar-
tet is signifi cantly ahead of
the rest of the fi eld, with the
gap between the Cavaliers
and No. 5 Gonzaga (158
points) being bigger than
that between Duke and Vir-
ginia (85 points).
Michigan State, Kansas,
Texas Tech, Virginia Tech
and Nevada rounded out the
rest of the top 10 for a sec-
ond straight week.
RISING
The changes started from
there after a week that saw
12 of the 15 teams outside
the top 10 lose at least once,
with fi ve of those losing
twice, and combining for 17
losses.
Five teams rose in the
new poll, starting with FSU
climbing two spots to No.
11 despite the loss to Duke.
No. 12 Kentucky was next,
joining No. 15 Marquette as
the week’s biggest climbers
by rising six spots.
No. 16 Buffalo and No.
20 Oklahoma (which lost to
Texas Tech last week) each
rose three spots.
SLIDING
Six teams fell in this
week’s poll, most notably
No. 24 Mississippi State.
The Bulldogs lost to South
Carolina and Mississippi
last week, then fell 10 spots
for the biggest slide among
ranked teams in this week’s
poll.
No. 21 Houston fell four
spots after suffering its fi rst
loss of the season, which
came against Temple. No.
14 Auburn and No. 25 Indi-
ana each fell three spots, No.
17 North Carolina State slid
two and No. 13 North Caro-
lina fell one.

Naselle’s Lilli Zimmerman
scored 23 points and team-
mate Emma Columbo added
14, lifting the Lady Comets
to a 67-51 win Monday night
over visiting Knappa in girls
basketball action.
Naselle outscored the Log-
gers 40-16 in the fi rst and third
quarters. The Comets built an
eventual 31-point lead, before
Knappa went on a 21-6 run in
the fourth quarter.
“We just didn’t play well in
the fi rst and third (quarters),”
said Knappa coach Marie
Green. “And (the Comets)
were making everything in the
fi rst half. Everything.”
Knappa’s scoring eventu-
ally came around, sparked by
the play of Hannah Dietrichs,
who led the Loggers with 16
points.
“Hannah is playing fantas-
tic,” Green said. “She was the
one who brought the energy
and the heat in the fourth
quarter. And I was real proud
of the way we fought. We
were down 31, and just started
gradually chipping away, to
the point where (the Comets)
had to put their starters back
in.”
Knappa had two other
players in double fi gures, as
Madelynn Weaver scored 12
points with eight rebounds
and four assists, and Sophia
Carlson fi nished with 10
points, eight steals and eight
boards.
Aiko Miller added six
points and seven steals for
Knappa, which returns to

Knappa rallied from an
early defi cit and avoided what
would have been a big upset,
scoring a 73-62 win at Naselle
in a cross-state boys basket-
ball game Monday night.
Knappa’s Timber Engb-
lom and Eli Takalo combined
for 45 points, with Engblom
scoring a team-high 23.
But it was Naselle that
opened the game with a hot
hand, leading 15-10 after one
quarter and 19-14 midway
through the second.
The Loggers went on a 7-0
run to grab a brief 21-19 lead,
but the Comets still led at half-
time, 30-29.
Naselle’s Kolby Glenn
scored 17 points in the fi rst
half, including fi ve 3-pointers,
his fi fth at the buzzer to end
the second quarter for a one-
point lead.
It didn’t take long for
Knappa to take control in the
second half, however.
A 14-7 start to the third
period had the Loggers in
front to stay, 43-37.
Knappa coach Paul Isom
said, “a big second half from
Kanai (Phillip, who fi nished
with 14 points) really helped
us. He came out really aggres-
sive, and it got the whole team
going.”
Meanwhile, the Knappa
defense held Glenn to just
three points in the second half.
The Loggers, 9-5 overall,
5-2 in league, return to North-
west League play Wednes-
day night at Faith Bible, 1-5
in league.
