Sacramento, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - James Harden put the Houston Rockets on his back and willed them to an overtime victory on Thursday. Harden scored a season-high 44 points to lead the Rockets in a 113-109 decision over the Sacramento Kings. Harden, who scored 34 points in a loss to Golden State on Wednesday, sent the game to overtime with a deep 3-pointer, then scored the first 10 Houston points in the extra session. That was definitely a tough game. Those guys on the other side definitely fought hard. We had the same energy, Harden said. We fought through it. Trevor Ariza and Patrick Beverley each netted 15 points and Donatas Motiejunas added 14 points for Houston, which has won five of its last six. Darren Collison had 24 points with seven assists and Ben McLemore tallied 21 points for the Kings. Harden fueled the Rockets comeback in regulation and continued in the extra session as he opened with seven straight points to give the Rockets a 102-95 lead with 3 1/2 minutes to play. The Houston offense ran through Harden in the overtime period. He slashed through the lane for a layup following a free throw from Jason Thompson, then split a pair of free throws to extend the lead to nine. (Harden) made shots when he needed to, Kings forward Gay said. He played great. Gay trimmed the deficit to six with a 3-pointer, but Harden drove on two defenders and skipped a pass over to Beverley, who nailed a corner 3 with 45.3 seconds left. Beverley missed 3-of-4 free throws down the stretch that allowed the Kings to hang around as Nik Stauskas trey made it a three-point game. Collison buried a 3 following a pair of free throws from Jason Terry, but Harden closed his evening with two free throws to account for the final margin. The Rockets trailed by as many as 10 in the fourth. Harden tied the game at 88-88 with a tough dunk through traffic with 2 1/2 minutes left. Each team traded a basket before Gay drove and kicked out to an open Derrick Williams, who hit a 3-pointer to make it a 93-90 game. Motiejunas was whistled for his sixth foul at the other end, which allowed Thompson to make a pair of free throws and stretch it to a two-possession game. Houston trailed by three when Harden tossed up a high-arching trey that hit nothing but cotton to tie the game at 95-95 with 20.5 seconds on the clock. Gays jumper from just inside the arc rattled out on Sacramentos final chance in regulation. The Rockets grabbed the rebound and called a timeout with under a second left, but Hardens final effort was long. Sacramento led 46-36 at the half. Houston opened the third quarter on a 10-3 run to close the gap to 49-46 just 2 1/2 minutes in. Later in the quarter, Beverley nailed a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to two, 55-53, then the Kings ripped off 10 straight as a McLemore dunk off a feed from Collison highlighted the surge. Harden scored the final four points of the third to cut it to 69-61 entering the fourth. Game Notes Houston has won four straight over the Kings ... Sacramento has lost two straight overall ...

No kneel-downs, no letting up. Eventually, Jeremy Langford scored a touchdown with 28 seconds left. I just felt like we needed to put a stake in them at that point, Dantonio said. The eighth-ranked Spartans trounced Michigan 35-11 on Saturday for their sixth victory in the past seven games against the Wolverines, but all that recent success hasnt removed the chip from Michigan States shoulder. That was evident after the game, when the Spartans took exception to what they said was a disrespectful pregame gesture by the Wolverines. They ran out, and one of the players had a spear or a dagger or something and just spiked it in our grass, Spartans quarterback Connor Cook said. Right before kickoff, disrespecting us. Langford ran for 177 yards and three touchdowns for the Spartans, who outgained Michigan 446-186 and won their 14th straight game against a Big Ten opponent. This one was extra special, of course. The only other time Michigan State has won six of seven over the Wolverines was between 1956-62. In the days leading up to this game, players and coaches from both teams were careful not to say anything inflammatory. Dantonio, who has been happy to speak his mind on this rivalry in the past, was fairly reserved. After Saturdays game, he abandoned all pretenses. You might as well just come out and say what youre feeling at some point in time, because you can only be diplomatic for so long, Dantonio said. The Little Brother stuff, all the disrespect -- didnt have to go in that direction. We tried to handle ourself with composure. It doesnt come from the coach, it comes from the program. Throwing the stake down in our backyard out here, and coming out there like theyre all that. It got shoved up -- it got shoved in the last minute. Wolverines coach Brady Hoke didnt sound particularly upset about Michigan States late touchdown. We have 11 guys out there. They have 11 guys out there, Hoke said. Were trying to compete. Theyre trying to compete. Thats what competition is. This series hasnt been particularly competitive lately. Michigan State held the Wolverines to minus-48 yards rushing last year in a 29-6 victory, and Michigan was shhut down again Saturday.dddddddddddd The Wolverines (3-5, 1-3 Big Ten) are in danger of missing the post-season in Hokes fourth year at the helm, and this game did little to ease Michigans descent. The Wolverines were held to zero yards rushing in the first half. Langford scored a pair of short touchdowns in the first half to give Michigan State a 14-3 lead. Then RJ Williamson scored on a 29-yard interception return in the third, and Cook threw a 70-yard touchdown pass to Tony Lippett later that quarter. Langfords final touchdown -- a 5-yarder at the end of the game -- became the major talking point afterward. The Spartans (7-1, 4-0) have next weekend off before hosting Ohio State in a rematch of last years conference championship game. After winning the Rose Bowl last season, Michigan State is very much in the mix for college footballs new four-team playoff. But first, the Spartans had to focus on maintaining the upper hand against their biggest rival -- a Michigan program that has had players dismissively refer to Michigan State as a little brother in the past. We want to win every game. This game just means a little bit more, Spartans safety Kurtis Drummond said. We dont underplay this win at all. For a moment, it looked as if the Spartans might be short-handed for that Ohio State game. Standout linebacker Taiwan Jones was called for roughing the passer with targeting in the third quarter, which would have carried a first-half suspension for Michigan States next game. But the targeting element was withdrawn after a review, and Jones played on. The Spartans committed 15-yard penalties on the first three plays of that drive, but Michigan still didnt score, turning the ball over on downs at the Michigan State 6. Michigan finally reached the end zone on DeVeon Smiths 1-yard touchdown run with 3:40 remaining in the fourth. That was the first touchdown Michigan State had allowed to the Wolverines since 2011, but the Spartans had one more answer after that -- one that carried a bit of a message. This is embedded in people. You need to understand that. This is our football team, thats theirs, and I understand the dynamics that are a part of that, Dantonio said. Doesnt mean I dont like them personally, but I understand the dynamics. ... This is the way its been, and as Ive said, Im just carrying on the tradition. ' ' '
