SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Although Jimmer Fredette and Isaiah Thomas are rarely on the floor at the same time, the two reserve guards were paired in the fourth quarter Friday night and both played key roles in the Sacramento Kings victory. DeMarcus Cousins had 17 points and 14 rebounds, Thomas also scored 17 points and Fredette added 15 to help the Kings beat the Orlando Magic 91-82. Fredette and Thomas have been typically vying this season for the same minutes. But trailing by two points entering the fourth, Kings coach put Fredette and Thomas in the backcourt with three other reserves -- rookie Thomas Robinson, Chuck Hayes, and a third guard, Marcus Thornton. Sacramento outscored Orlando 29-18 in the fourth. It didnt help that the Magic shot 7 of 24 in the final quarter and were outhustled by the Kings, who outrebounded Orlando 17-9. "We played small ball and came to life," Smart said. After squandering an 11-point lead in the third quarter, the Kings regrouped in the fourth behind the strong play of their backups. Led by Thomas and Fredette, who both scored 11 points in the period, the reserves played for much of the final quarter and produced a 15-2 run that propelled Sacramento to consecutive wins for the second time this season. A heralded college player at BYU, Fredette has played well off the bench in his second season. Against Orlando, he enjoyed a perfect fourth quarter, connecting on all three field-goal attempts and making four straight free throws in the games final 22 seconds. "Its a great dynamic (playing with Thomas). I think its two guys that can shoot the ball, but also make plays for other people and can get into the lane and penetrate," Fredette said. "I was happy to go in there with him and pull out a win." Thomas was a starter the second half of last season when he blossomed as a rookie. But playing time has been tough to get since he lost the starting job to Aaron Brooks after eight games this season. In two of the previous four games Thomas played a combined eight minutes. Against Orlando, Thomas entered the game in the first quarter and wound up playing nearly 28 minutes. In the fourth quarter, Thomas hit a pair of jumpers and 7 of 8 free throws. He also finished with five rebounds and four assists. "We were on the court a few tiimes last year and were successful," Thomas said. "He was aggressive, I was aggressive, and we fed off each other. We wanted to bring a different pace to the game." Jason Thompson added 12 points and Brooks had 11 for the Kings, who are 5-0 at home when leading at halftime. Glen Davis had 20 points and 11 rebounds for Orlando, but fouled out in the final 36 seconds. Arron Afflalo had 18 points and Jameer Nelson scored 17 for the Magic, who have lost two straight and five of seven. Andrew Nicholson added 14 points. "They made some plays in the fourth quarter," Davis said. "Fredette made some good moves and Isaiah was tough. He really sealed the game the way he played. Those are two tough little guards." The Kings were without starting guard Tyreke Evans, who didnt play for the third time in four games with a sore right knee. Evans was a critical factor in the Kings victory Wednesday over Toronto, making two 3-pointers late in the fourth quarter and scoring 23 points. Evans is questionable for Saturdays game in Portland. A fastbreak layup by Afflalo cut the Sacramento lead to 81-78 with just under 3 minutes left. The Kings final 10 points were free throws, including a pair by Cousins that stretched their cushion to 87-78 with 28 seconds remaining. Although his starters rallied the Kings late in the third quarter, Smart went with the small lineup in the fourth and stuck with it almost throughout. Fredette, Thomas and Robinson played all 12 minutes in the final quarter. "Every game has a different personality," Smart said. "The lineup that Orlando used allowed me to do that rotation tonight. They didnt look to post up their guards. In tomorrows game, Portland will post up their twos and threes, so there may not be a situation like that." The Kings used a 15-2 run to take a nine-point lead, but Orlando responded on Davis three-point play and a 3-pointer from Nelson to trim it to 79-76 with 3:40 left. After losing the lead in the third quarter, the Kings regained it in the fourth behind the play of five reserves. Fredette connected on a corner 3 off a fast break for a 69-68 advantage at the 8:28 mark. A jumper by Fredette a short time later capped seven consecutive points for the Kings, who took a 73-68 lead. Nelson had 10 points and Afflalo scored nine in the third period when the Magic shook off a poor first half and outscored the Kings 30-16. Nelson made all four third-quarter shots, including a pair of 3s. "I felt pretty decent going into the fourth," Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn said. "Even though we got the lead we still missed some shots, a few bunnies at the rim. We had some good looks down the stretch. It doesnt always boil down to the shots at the end of the game. There were a lot of shots throughout the course of the game that didnt go in." Trailing 54-43 in the third, the Magic finally got going offensively, scoring 16 straight points. Afflalo scored the final five, hitting two free throws and a 3 that put Orlando in front 59-54 with 4:28 left in the quarter. The Kings benefited in the first half from the inside play of Thompson and Cousins. Thompson had 10 points and six rebounds, while Cousins had nine points and eight rebounds in leading the Kings to a 46-34 halftime lead. Brooks also scored nine points for Sacramento. Davis scored 10 first-half points for the Magic, who shot 35 per cent. They were outrebounded 27-18 and committed nine turnovers.

The rookie right-hander hopes they are having the same effect on himself. Hendriks was tagged for six runs and eight hits in five-plus innings and the Minnesota Twins lost for the sixth time in their past eight games, 9-1 to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday night. "I just need to get angry," said Hendriks, a 23-year-old native of Australia. "When I was playing football back in Australia, it was one of the things where I wouldnt do well until I got angry at myself for doing something wrong and then I would get locked in. I need to get angry from the get-go instead of after Ive already given up two or three runs." The Pirates scored one in the first and three in the second against Hendriks (0-4), who remained winless in 10 career outings. He retired nine of the 10 batters he faced in the third through fifth innings but was pulled after Rod Barajas homered two batters into the sixth. "As the story goes, if you dont pitch, you get whacked," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I know we didnt make a play behind him there but there were rockets flying everywhere," Gardenhire added. James McDonald pitched his first career complete game and Barajas, Garrett Jones and Pedro Alvarez homered for the Pirates, who have won four of five. McDonald (6-3) continued his breakthrough season by allowing one run, six hits and no walks with five strikeouts, lowering his ERA to 2.19. He has allowed one run or fewer in nine of his 14 starts this season. "He was lights out today," Alvarez said. "Hes been pretty good all year, but when his breaking pitch is working the way it was today for strikes and for chase, and hes locating his fastball the way he was, hes one of the best out there. And todays performance is as good a performance as youll have from any pitcher." McDonald was 18-20 in 95 career starts heading into this season but is now among the NL leaders in ERA. He credited the addition of two veterans -- pitcher A.J. Burnett and catcher Barajas -- to the Pittsburgh clubhouse this season for helping him finally harness his long-tantalizing potential. It was after his most recent start -- one in which he allowed one run but lasted only six innings -- that Barajas sat him down. "He told me I need to be that guy who wants seven to nine innings every night out," McDonald said. "Tonight after the seventh, that just went through my brain the whole time, and I really wanted that.dddddddddddd "I could see he really wanted me to finish the game, all my teammates wanted me to finish the game -- and I finally believed in myself I could finish the game." It was the Pirates first complete game this season. Jones had an RBI single in the first inning and a two-run homer that made it 8-1 in the seventh. Alvarez added a shot that travelled an estimated 435 feet to right-centre two batters later. Pittsburghs Andrew McCutchen came up a home run short of the cycle, scoring two runs and driving in three. The surging Pirates have won seven of their past eight series and four consecutive series at home. They moved within two games of first-place Cincinnati in the NL Central. Justin Morneau had two hits for the Twins. With two outs in the first, McCutchen tripled to right-centre just past the diving Ben Revere. He scored when Jones followed with an infield single. "I feel prepared; Im throwing well in warmups then I get out to the game and something changes," Hendriks said. "I give up a couple of runs before I get in that grove and get my aggressiveness going." An inning later, McCutchen came up with the bases loaded and two outs and hit a similar hard, deep liner. This time, he pulled it to left for a three-run double. Barajas snapped an 0-for-13 slump with his seventh homer that followed Alvarezs leadoff single in the sixth. That prompted Gardenhire to lift Hendriks(0-4), who did not walk a batter and had three strikeouts. Jones, a former Twin, homered for the first time since June 3 after McCutchen singled to lead off the seventh. Alvarezs homer was his fifth in his past five games and team-high 13th this season. Minnesota got its run in the fourth when Ryan Doumits two-out single scored Trevor Plouffe. Notes: LHP Brian Duensing will start for the Twins on Saturday in Cincinnati. It will be his first start of the season after 30 relief appearances. He has 50 starts in his four-year career. ... Minnesota C Joe Mauer (bruised right quad) was not in the lineup for the third straight game, although Gardenhire said he was available to pinch-hit. ...
