LOS ANGELES -- The ex-girlfriend who lost her lawsuit accusing NBA star Derrick Rose and two friends of raping her appealed the verdict Thursday on the grounds that damning testimony should have been excluded and other evidence should have been admitted at trial.Jurors cleared the Knicks point guard and his friends last month in Los Angeles federal court after they testified that the woman was coherent and willingly engaged in sex with them during an evening get-together at Roses rented mansion in Beverly Hills and again early the next morning at her apartment in August 2013.The woman had been seeking $21.5 million in the suit that claimed the men gang raped her at home while she was incapacitated from booze or drugs and unable to consent to sex.We combed the records, looked at the transcripts and I think the judge misapplied the rape shield law and, in doing so, abused his discretion, the womans lawyer, Waukeen McCoy, told The Associated Press.Rape shield laws limit or prohibit evidence of a victims past sexual history to be introduced in a case, though there are exceptions to the rule.McCoy said the judge should have excluded testimony by the Knicks point guard and his friends who said the woman willingly engaged in sex with them earlier in the evening at Roses house because it was irrelevant to the later incident.The woman denied having sex with the men at the mansion. She said she drank shots of tequila by the pool, felt drugged and went home to her apartment, where she vomited and passed out.She said she awoke in the early morning to find the three men assaulting her in her bedroom.Jurors said they found the womans account hard to believe and didnt think there was enough evidence to support her claims.Los Angeles police have an open investigation into the womans claims. The Associated Press does not generally name people who say they are victims of sex crimes.Roses lawyers have asked the judge to award $70,000 in court expenses because the defense prevailed at trial. In a court filing, his attorneys said they expected an appeal which will be meritless, frivolous, and sanctionable.Lawyers for Rose did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Kings have plenty of power-play goals this season, and several others in the first few seconds after a penalty expired.They struck in that situation again Wednesday night, when Dwight King scored late in the third period just 1 second after a power play ended. He added another goal 25 seconds later, Peter Budaj stopped 22 shots and the Kings defeated the New York Islanders 4-2 for their fourth consecutive win.We dont have to get a lot of power-play goals, Anze Kopitar said. Obviously it helps and we would like to, but if we build good momentum off it, that helps, too. I think it was three or four, maybe even five times this year where we didnt get the credit for the power-play goal but we scored within 5 seconds of the guy coming out of the box.Jake Muzzin and Alec Martinez also scored to help the Kings win their fifth straight at home.Anders Lee scored twice and Jaroslav Halak made 24 saves for the Islanders, who dropped to 1-5-1 on the road this season.King deflected in Derek Forborts long shot for the go-ahead goal with 2:53 remaining, showing off the all-around game that has sparked the streaky Kings.Forbort is supposed to get it through to the net, somebody is supposed to get in front of the net, Los Angeles coach Darryl Sutter said. Tic-tac-toe, you put your arms in the air.Even Islanders coach Jack Capuano credited the Kings with a score on special teams, saying the late breakdown was representative of how poorly New Yorks penalty kill has performed this season.Its frustrating because its probably one of the best games we have played coming into this building and cant get any results, Capuano said. Just got to try to find a way to kill one at the end.King scored again when he and Trevor Lewis caught the Islanders on a break, and Muzzin added an empty-netter.Los Angeles now has winning streaks of four, three and four games sandwiched around losing streaks of thrree, three and four games.dddddddddddd In the middle of a stretch that sees them play eight of 10 games at Staples Center, the Kings appear ready capitalize on their current form.We want to stop streaking in the wrong direction, but were on the right path now, said Kopitar, who had an assist in his return after missing five games with a hand/wrist injury. Just playing our style of hockey, that really helps.Lee tied it 4:27 into the third period. He was somehow able to collect and backhand in the rebound of Travis Hamonics missed shot while tangled up with Kings defenseman Matt Greene.Lee added his third goal of the season with 1:52 left to make it 4-2, but the Islanders failed in their attempt to string together consecutive wins away from Barclays Center for the first time this season.Martinez put the Kings ahead 15:34 into the first period with his fourth goal of the season, taking advantage of Lewis screen in front to beat Halak with a shot from the blue line.Kings defensemen have six goals during their winning streak, including Martinez scoring the opener against New Jersey last Saturday.The Islanders could not carry over the momentum from their first road win Tuesday at Anaheim, despite two power-play opportunities in the first 11 minutes. New York had just one shot with the man advantage and seven total in the opening period, half the number needed to decide their 14-round shootout against the Ducks the previous night.Game notes The Islanders scratched G Thomas Greiss, RW Cal Clutterbuck and D Scott Mayfield. Clutterbuck, who sustained an upper-body injury against the Ducks, went through pregame warmups before being held out. ... The Kings scratched LW Teddy Purcell and D Tom Gilbert.UP NEXTIslanders: Friday at San Jose.Kings: Saturday night at home against Chicago.
