SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Despite the return of Sacramento Kings centre DeMarcus Cousins, the undersized Milwaukee Bucks came up big.Brandon Knight scored 20 points and the Bucks spoiled Cousins return to the struggling Kings with a 108-107 victory Thursday night.With their inside game lacking due to missing players, the young Bucks shot well from the perimeter for much of the night. Milwaukee, which won for the third time in four games, went 10 of 14 from 3-point range in the first half and made 13 overall from beyond the arc.Milwaukee was outscored 48-26 in the paint.We had to score the ball (from the outside) if we were going to have a chance to win tonight, said first-year Bucks coach Jason Kidd, whose team moved over the .500 mark with a 14-13 record.Prized rookie Jabari Parker, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee Monday and is out for the season, was among the missing Milwaukee players.The Bucks also were without centre Larry Sanders, suspended one game by the NBA on Thursday for pushing Portland forward Nicolas Batum in the back as he elevated toward the basket Wednesday night.Milwaukee, which dressed 10 players, also was without power forwards Ersan Ilyasova (nasal fracture) and John Henson (sprained left foot).No one thought we would have this record but us, said O.J. Mayo, who scored 17 of his 19 points in the first quarter. Were a young, confident team that plays aggressive and with a lot of energy.Jared Dudley scored 19 points, Jerryd Bayless had 10 of 17 in the fourth quarter, and Giannis Antetokounmpo added 11.Playing for the first time in more than three weeks due to viral meningitis, Cousins looked fatigued at times but still had 27 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in nearly 33 minutes for the Kings.However, the teams leading scorer and rebounder missed his most important shot of the game. Pressured on the perimeter by Zaza Pachulia, Cousins misfired on a jumper at the buzzer that would have won it.I kind of got pushed out a little further; ZaZa kind of played me to my right, Cousins said. I tried to go left, but Knight helped, so I crossed over and tried to take the best shot available with time running out. I think I got a good look, but it just didnt fall.Cousins missed 10 straight games and the Kings went 2-8 in his absence. He last played Nov. 26 at Houston.Ben McLemore scored 22 points for Sacramento, Rudy Gay had 20 points and nine rebounds, and Darren Collison added 12 points.Sacramento has dropped five straight and 10 of 12. The Kings were playing their second game since the surprise firing Sunday of coach Michael Malone, who was replaced by interim coach Tyrone Corbin.Thirteen three-point shots they made and in the first half I think they shot 75 per cent, Corbin said. We did a better job in the second half, but they shot it well early. They threw us off with their lineup and we had to match up with their small guys.Trying to play a more up-tempo game, the Kings were too sloppy and committed 21 turnovers that led to 17 Milwaukee points.A goaltend by Cousins led to a three-point play by Dudley, putting the Bucks ahead 101-91 with 6:41 left. Two free throws by McLemore tied the game at 107, but Pachulia converted one of two free throws for a one-point Milwaukee lead with 6.8 seconds left.Everybody had something to do with it tonight, offensively and defensively, Kidd said. It just showed us what weve been saying all along, that were a team. We play hard. The guys did that on the road and theyve been giving us a chance to win.___TIP-INSBucks: Mayo, who entered averaging 10.9 points per game, scored the teams first 12 points. ...

Ed Lucas homered in the 10th to give the Marlins a 4-3 lead Wednesday night. The Phillies loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the inning to put Miami closer Steve Cisheks major league-best saves streak in danger. They could not score, however, as Roger Bernadina struck out and Freddy Galvis grounded out to seal the Marlins victory that snapped a seven-game losing streak to their divisional rival. "It was frustrating at the end -- second and third and no outs but we couldnt execute," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. The homer was the fourth of the season for Lucas. Miamis Giancarlo Stanton tied the game 3-3 in the sixth inning with a two-run, homer to centre field that was measured at 460 feet. "It was a slider slightly down and in," Sandberg said of Lucas homer. "A pitch youd want back, but it wasnt a hanging pitch." Brad Hand (1-1) was credited with the victory for pitching a scoreless ninth. Cishek was shaky in the 10th but picked up his 31st save overall and 26th in a row, the longest active streak in the major leagues and one shy of the Marlins franchise record set by Todd Jones in 2005. Cesar Jimenez (1-1) took the loss for Philadelphia, which is 7-2 in its last nine home games. "Everybody is playing as a team, rooting for each other and playing good baseball," Sandberg said. A couple of Phillies miscues in the fifth inning set up the Marlins first run. Following Adeiny Hechavarrias single, Nathan Eovaldi reached first base on an error when catcher Carlos Ruiz fielded his sacrifice bunt attempt and threw too high to second. Luis Garrcias wild pitch moved the runners to second and third with one out, and Hechavarria scored on Donovan Solanos groundout.dddddddddddd The Phillies loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning on two walks and a single and tied it on a passed ball. Chase Utley drove in two runs with a single to right. The Phillies blew an opportunity to take the lead in the eighth. Domonic Brown led off with a double and moved to third on a groundout. After Cody Asche struck out, Bernadina hit a liner toward shortstop but Hechavarria made a diving stop to preserve the tie. "The shortstop made an unbelievable play," Sandberg said. "We had it in the outfield. Hes some athlete." Utley finished the series against the Marlins with six hits and 10 RBIs. "Hes swinging a good bat, showing power and showing his leadership," Sandberg said. "Hes a real steady force and will be a big piece for next year." Eovaldi struggled with his control through five innings, allowing three runs, four hits, four walks and a hit batter while striking out five. In his first major league start since August 2009, Zach Miner tossed three scoreless innings for the Phillies and allowed two hits, walked two and struck out two. NOTES: The Phillies are 11-5 against the Marlins this season. The clubs have one series left, a three-game set next week in Miami. ... An MRI on RHP Kyle Kendrick, Philadelphias original Wednesday night starter, revealed nothing more than shoulder tendinitis.
