MIAMI -- Coach Jim Larranaga wanted more assists and fewer turnovers from his Miami Hurricanes, and they accomplished half of that assignment Saturday, which was enough to beat Wofford.The Hurricanes tied their season high with 15 assists, which helped them overcome 16 turnovers and win 74-57 in the HoopHall Miami Invitational.Those statistics have been substandard this season while the young Hurricanes develop cohension, Larranaga said.Almost every guy on the team has a new role from last year, he said. We wanted to create more assists with fewer turnovers. We got the assists; we still have too many turnovers.Junior JaQuan Newton totaled a career-high nine assists to go with 15 points for the Hurricanes (6-2). Senior forward Kamari Murphy had a career-high 14 points, often thanks to good passes from the perimeter.This last week coach L emphasized ball movement and everybody getting touches, Murphy said. We showed that today. My teammates did a great job finding me off the rolls on the baseline so I could finish.Davon Reed added 13 points for Miami, and freshman Bruce Brown had 12 points and three steals while playing 37 minutes.Another fine Hurricanes team, Wofford coach Mike Young said. We had our moments and made them work and made them guard some things that maybe they havent guarded this season. But coach Larranaga has another quality team.As so oftentimes happens in games like this, the bigger, stronger athletes ultimately get the best of you, and I thought thats what happened. Just not enough good things to make it even more interesting.Cameron Jackson came off the bench and had 16 points and four steals in 15 minutes for Wofford (2-6).Miami shot 50 percent from the field, including 7 for 15 from 3-point range, and went 19 for 21 from the free throw line.Its still early in the season, Murphy said. Everybodys learning each other, and were still learning what offense best fits us. Weve always had the defensive intensity so were just finding our offense -- where guys like it, where guys like to be on the court. When we have great ball movement and flow, this is the type of result youre going to get.RUNSThe Hurricanes raced to leads of 17-4 and 24-6. The margin was 32-15 when Wofford mounted a comeback.Miami went without a field goal for the first seven minutes of the second half, allowing Wofford to close to within five points. Dejan Vasiljevic and Brown then sank consecutive 3-pointers, and Miami was never again threatened.We came out a little flat the second half, Newton said. Coach L called a timeout and we had to regroup. Once we got ourselves together and got the defensive stops that we needed, we just started running our offense again.SMALL TURNOUTThe stands were mostly empty at the Miami Heats arena, but the crowd did include Heat president Pat Riley and owner Micky Arison.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets are living an NBA truth about offensive play: Most often, the smallest details --- spacing, movement, flow, pace, protecting the ball --- have the greatest effect.Right now, the Kings are taking care of the details. The Rockets, not so much.Where those two trends head in the immediate future will be determined Friday, when they face each other at the Golden 1 Center.Sacramento is riding consecutive victories for only the second time this season, both built from a rejuvenated offensive attack. The Kings 116-91 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday marked their best four-quarter output of the season.The Kings (6-9) also have scored at least 115 points in two of their past three contests, and theyve combined for 63 points in the first quarter in two games since coach David Joerger went from starting a big lineup to a smaller one.You are seeing some very positive things, he said.Among them: The Kings totaled 26 assists on 44 made shots against Oklahoma City and 26 on 36 made shots against Toronto. The combined 65 percent ratio of assists-to-baskets was Sacramentos best two-game total this season.Even if sometimes it doesnt appear so, we are getting better at the things were working on, Joerger said. Sometimes we shoot ourselves in the foot and make some, Holy Cow, did I just see that just happen plays. But I think they are fewer and far between when were playing well.Players have pointed to more space on the floor and better familiarity with each other as factors in the turnaround. They also say a better performance on defense has been important, too; the Kings held Toronto below 100 in an overtime win last Sunday and didntt yield Oklahoma Citys 100th point until late in the fourth quarter when the game was put away.ddddddddddddhen you have a group of eight guys that all know they are in the rotation, they know whatever combination is out there, Joerger said. Guys are starting to fit into what were asking them to do.The Rockets (9-6) will be asked to be much better at taking care of the ball than they did in a 115-102 home loss to the Raptors on Wednesday. The Rockets committed a season-worst 28 turnovers, 12 of them by perennial MVP candidate James Harden. Toronto capitalized by scoring 33 points off of them.If youre not ready to play, and we werent for whatever reason, its now up to the next one, coach Mike DAntonio said. Just as long as we learn from it.Harden rarely has two bad games in a row. Hes fourth in the NBA in scoring (28.7 points per game), and the leader in assists (12.5). His 29-point, 15-assist night against Toronto gave him at least 25 points and 15 assists in five games this season. Only once before this season had there been a 25-point, 15-assist game for the Rockets, according to the Houston Chronicle.The contest kicks off a five-game road trip for the Houston, the second one for them this month. Houston won three of five against Eastern Conference teams on that journey, and they are 5-4 away from home this season. All five of the opponents on the trip are from the Western Conference, but only the Golden State Warriors (13-2) were above .500 on Thanksgiving.Were still a fairly new team, Harden said. Weve gotta realize were 15 games in. Weve got a long way to go.
