Taniela Moa was dragged down just short of the line after t OAKLAND, Calif. - The possible tying shot that Klay Thompson missed in a last-second loss at Sacramento earlier this season will no longer be the second-year guards enduring memory of the Northern California series. Thompson made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 7.5 seconds remaining and finished with 20 points to lead the Golden State Warriors past the Kings, 87-83 on Wednesday night. Not only did Thompson atone for that 94-92 loss on Nov. 5, he helped the Warriors erase almost 48 minutes of bad basketball in one stroke. "This kind of made up for it," Thompson said. Thompson, who has matched his career best with three straight games of at least 20 points, then forced Tyreke Evans into an errant layup on the final possession to seal a sloppy win for the Warriors over the Western Conferences worst team. After dropping the first two in Sacramento this season, Golden State overcame 18 turnovers and 36 per cent shooting against its Northern California rival. David Lee had 17 points and 10 rebounds and rookie Harrison Barnes added 14 points for the Warriors, who are 2-0 since returning home from a four-game road losing streak. They held the Kings to 40 per cent shooting and forced 15 turnovers. "Were not the Miami Heat. Were not the Oklahoma City Thunder. A lot of nights its not going to be pretty," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "Thats just the fact. I embrace it. I give my guys credit because we battled, we competed, we got stops when we had to and we continued to put a check mark in the W column." Jason Thompson had 17 points and eight rebounds, and Patrick Patterson scored 15 for Sacramento, which has lost 11 of its last 13 games. DeMarcus Cousins had five points and four rebounds and sat out the entire second and fourth quarters in another bad body-language performance. Asked after the game if he was surprised by his minutes, Cousins said: "You kind of expect anything here." "I went with a group that kept us in the game," Kings coach Keith Smart said. "We are a play away from winning the basketball game. That group got us back in the game." In the end, the long-range shot bailed out the Warriors again. Stephen Curry came off a pick-and-roll and made a 3-pointer to give Golden State an 82-78 lead with a little more than 2 minutes remaining. The Warriors stopped Sacramento, but then had a shot-clock violation just before Jarrett Jacks layup. Thompson hit a jumper and Patterson followed with a 3-pointer in front of the Warriors bench to put the Kings ahead 83-82. Patterson mouthed a few words and flicked three fingers back at Golden States bench as he skipped down court. The Warriors then blew two chances to tie or take the lead. Jack missed a 3-pointer on the first one, and Thompson missed an open jumper after another stop and timeout. The third time proved to be the charm. Lee found Thompson standing open in the corner on a play designed for Curry, and the second-year guards swish gave Golden State an 85-83 lead, holding his hand in the air as the sold-out crowd announced at 19,956 roared to its feet. Thompson, whose miss around the free-throw line capped the loss in Sacramento, had never hit a game-winning shot in the NBA. "Didnt know itd come this time around. But if you want to be a great player in this league, you cant have a conscience," said Thompson, who finished 6 for 17 from the floor. "Ive learned a lot this year. Ive missed some big shots. Hopefully this is a building block. Ive learned you just got to play free out there and let it go when youre open." Evans missed a difficult layup in Thompsons face on the next play, Draymond Green grabbed the rebound and made both free throws to seal the victory. Evans said after the game Thompson shouldve been called for a foul. "Everybody saw it, but I didnt get the call, so got to keep playing," he said. Andrew Bogut, starting for the second straight game after sitting out the previous six with back spasms, only played in spurts and deferred to his teammates on offence. He finished with two points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes. Cousins picked up two fouls in the first 10 minutes, sat the rest of the half and often looked disinterested. During one timeout in the second quarter, he watched the in-house band instead of joining the Kings huddle. Cousins, who had eight points on 1-for-12 shooting in a home loss against Denver a night earlier, finished 2 for 10 from the floor. With more room to move on the floor, Jack and Thompson each made two 3-pointers and Curry added another to highlight a 20-6 run in the first quarter that gave Golden State a 26-16 lead. The Warriors started 5 of 9 from beyond the arc. Sacramento answered with a 15-5 spurt capped by Toney Douglas layup and 3-pointer midway through the second quarter. The Kings led 44-41 at the break. Each team committed nine turnovers in the first half. Both sides struggled to create separation the rest of the way, and neither team looked sharp. "At this point in the season," Lee said, "Ill take a win any way we can get it." NOTES: The Warriors are 185-184 all-time against the Kings. The teams play one more time this season on March 27 in Oakland. ... Currys streak of at least 25 points in five straight games ended. ... Lee had his season-high eighth straight double-double.

The Tongans scored tries through Viliami Maafu, Tukulua Lokotui and Fetuu Vainikolo at Northlands Events Centre to improve to five points in Pool A, five behind leaders New Zealand and France but with a match against the French on Oct. 1. "Weve got one more game left and weve got nothing to lose," Tonga coach Isitolo Maka said. "Especially playing against a team like France, which is No. 4 in the world. Im sure that win tonight will give us a big chance to take them on next week." The win was Tongas first in six matches against Japan, which still hasnt added to its sole World Cup victory against Zimbabwe in 1991. The teams one victory in 23 matches and 17-match winless streak are both tournament records. Kensuke Hatakeyama, Michael Leitch and Alisi Tupuailai scored tries for Japan, which was let down by James Arlidges failure to land one conversion after having entered the match as the tournaments sixth leading scorer with 21 points despite only having played once. By comparison, Tonga flyhalf Kurt Morath landed six from seven attempts and steered his team around the park well. The match always promised to be an examination of contrasting styles -- Tongas physicality and confrontational approach up against the crisp, linking interplay between Japans forwards and backs -- and power ultimately pummeled pace. Tongas scrum was clearly on top and although its forwards won the battle at the breakdown, the team was still forced to make 50 more tackles. The Japanese backs, however, struggled to hold on to the ball in the face on some flying crash tackles from an on-rushing defence. Japans inability to build pressure failed to thoroughly test an occasionally porous Tongan backline that slipped off several first-up tackles. "We got dominated early and it cost us dearly," said Japan coach John Kirwan. "I think when we are hanging on to the ball, we can put teams under pressure." Having lost 41-10 to the All Blacks in the tournament opener and then 25-20 to Canada, Tonga attacked from from the outset. Taniela Moa was dragged down just short of the line after taking a quick tap. From the ensuing scrum, the scrumhalf was again felled just short and, following yet another setpiece, Maafu was held up over the line in a brilliant tackle by winger Hirotoki Onozawa.dddddddddddd The pressure finally told from the next scrum, Maafu picking the ball up from its base to crash over the line in the seventh minute. Seven minutes later, Japan hit back through Hatakeyama to make it 5-5. The Japanese forwards laying siege to the try line for several phases before the video referee ruled one surge from the pack had been successful with the tighthead prop clutching the ball. Immediately from the restart, however, the ball squirted free from a ruck and a three-on-one overlap allowed Lokotui to cross out wide for a try converted by Morath to push Tonga out to a 12-5 lead. Back came Japan. Leitch, named man of the match, was the recipient of quick ruck ball following centre Ryan Nicholas midfield break for the openside flanker to reach out and touch down out wide for an unconverted try in the 26th. Two penalties to Morath, offset by one to fullback Shaun Webb, and the sin-binning of Arlidge for offside helped give Tonga an 18-13 lead at halftime. The up-tempo pace was maintained after the interval, with Tonga dominating territory and possession but with only a penalty from Morath for a 21-13 lead to initially show for its increasing superiority. That changed when Vainikolo brushed through some ineffectual tackles to score a converted try out wide in the 55th for a 15-point lead. Tupuailais barging run from an inside ball by Arlidge cut the gap to 28-18 in the 63rd, but Arlidge inexplicably missed the conversion and Morath soon added another penalty. "We realized from our previous game that the last 10 minutes we did not do well," Lutui said. "Tonight we got it right, and thats why we got a result." Leitch was hopeful that Japan might break its losing record when it plays Canada in its final match on Sept. 27. "We never give up, we have the fighting spirit," Leitch said. "The tournaments not over yet." A fire started outside the ground in the 70th minute, the leaping flames clearly visible over one side of the stadiums perimeter before the fire service were called to extinguish them. Tournament organizers said at no time was the safety of spectators in jeapordy. ------ Tonga 31 (Viliami Maafu, Tukulua Lokotui, Fetuu Vainikolo tries; Kurt Morath 4 penalties, 2 conversions), Japan 18 (Kensuke Hatakeyama, Michael Leitch, Alisi Tupuailai tries; Shaun Webb penalty).
