Pace is playing a key role in how the Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns are performing on offense.Heading into Saturday game in Phoenix, the Nets and Suns own among the quickest paces in the league.The Nets are averaging 103.50 possessions per game through their first eight games in new coach Kenny Atkinsons motion offense. The Suns have averaged 104.37 possessions through their first nine games.En route to losing a combined 61 games under coaches Lionel Hollins and Tony Brown last season, the Nets were 21st in pace at 97.37 possessions per game. Last year, the Suns lost 59 games and averaged 100.9 possessions, which placed them fourth.It is what teams do with those possessions that ultimately leads to wins.While the Nets are playing at a high pace, it is other categories in which they are inconsistent. Brooklyn is attempting nearly 34 3-pointers per game but is only making 31.7 percent of those shots.The difference can be explained in their five losses. In defeats, the Nets are shooting 28.6 percent (51-of-178) from behind the arc as opposed to 37.6 percent (35-of-93) in wins.In Wednesdays 110-96 loss at the New York Knicks, the Nets were 11 of 33 from 3-point range. Brooklyn held a 67-56 lead after a 3-pointer by Justin Hamilton with 6:16 left but missed 12 of its last 15 attempts from the arc and was outscored 54-29 the rest of the way.They did a great job pressuring us and we went away from what we know, Nets guard Sean Kilpatrick said. We let them speed us up a little bit. We didnt share the ball like weve been.Part of the problem was not having an experienced point guard and a lack of depth at the position.Jeremy Lin missed the last three and a half games after straining his left hamstring in the first half against Detroit on Nov. 2, and will not be re-evaluated until next week. Isaiah Whitehead has shown some glimpses but did not play Wednesday due to a concussion, and his return will not take place until he completes the leagues concussion protocol.It seems like every night its a different point guard and some guys have to play out of position, Brooklyn forward Trevor Booker said. So its tough. At the same time, we have to keep the ball moving and play together.When the Nets reach Phoenix, they will face a team coming off an effective defensive showing down the stretch. The Suns are allowing 113 points per game but won for the third time in five games following a 0-4 start by holding the Detroit Pistons to 13 points in the final 9:20 of a 107-100 victory Wednesday.The win was even more notable since the Suns played a grueling overtime loss Tuesday in Portland and did not land in Phoenix until 3 a.m.Eric Bledsoe came through in the fourth with 14 of his 21 points to go along with 11 rebounds and eight assists.Weve been losing these close games, so its nice to get one, especially at home, Phoenix reserve forward Jared Dudley said.Dudley is correct. The average margin of Phoenixs last five games has been five points after the Suns dropped their first four contests by a combined 46 points.Center Tyson Chandler missed the last two games following the death of his mother and may not play Saturday. Chandler is averaging 13.4 rebounds, 7.4 points on 67.7 percent shooting in seven games.On Wednesday, Alex Len capably filled in for Chandler by collecting 16 points and 14 rebounds.The Nets have won seven of the last nine meetings. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 24 points in Brooklyns 116-106 win in Phoenix on Feb. 25 and Brooklyn recorded a three-point home win Dec. 1.

NFL Jerseys China . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. BERKELEY, Calif. -- Jake Browning and the Washington Huskies sure made a good case that they may have been snubbed in the initial College Football Playoff rankings even if they say they werent bothered by it in the least.Browning threw for 378 yards and six touchdowns to set Washingtons single-season record for TD passes, and the fifth-ranked Huskies beat California 66-27 on Saturday night.Days after being ranked fifth in the playoff rankings behind one-loss Texas A&M, the Huskies (9-0, 6-0 Pac-12, No. 4 AP) took care of business in efficient fashion hours after the Aggies were upset by Mississippi State.I think its good, Browning said. Theres a lot of football left to play. Put us outside the top four and make us earn it.John Ross had 208 yards receiving and three scores. Dante Pettis caught three touchdown passes and threw another to lead the Huskies to their 12th straight win in convincing fashion.Washington is off to its best start since going 12-0 and winning a share of the national title in 1991.Its nice to get into a grove like that, Pettis said. You move the ball down the field pretty easily and things feel good. Everyone is in the mojo right there. Thats how it was today.The Bears (4-5, 2-4) had won five straight home games, including victories over ranked Texas and Utah earlier this season. But they were no match for the Huskies, who were far more potent on offense and much stingier on defense.Davis Webb threw for 262 yards and one touchdown, and ran for a second score. But he also had three second-half interceptions as the Huskies pulled away with 38 straight points after Cal cut the deficit to 21-20 midway through the second quarter.We just let the game get away from us, Dykes said. We turned the ball over on three straight possessions, we couldnt get any stops and we did not do a good job on third downs.Browning did most of the work, finding Ross and Pettis open repeatedly downfield for big plays. Ross scored on TD caatches of 60 and 67 yards, eluding four defenders after backtracking 4 yards on the longer TD.dddddddddddd Pettis caught a 32-yard TD pass that gave Browning 34 TDs this season, one more then Keith Price had for the Huskies in 2011.They were kind of stacking the box, Browning said. Its high risk, high reward. Thats going to happen with those deep balls.THE TAKEAWAYWashington: The Huskies showed off their balance on offense. When Cal stacked the box to stop the run, Browning was able to beat the Bears with deep passes. When the defense rolled coverage to take away Ross, Washingtons other receivers took advantage of the opportunity. The Huskies also gained 287 yards on the ground with TD runs from Lavon Coleman and Myles Gaskin.California: Struggling on defense is nothing new for the Bears, who came into the game allowing more than 505.9 yards and 41.8 points per contest. The offense was a problem this game. Cal settled for field goals after starting in Washington territory on two first-half possessions and converted just 1 of 14 third downs.LONG TIME COMINGPettis said he had practiced his pass play a few times each week and was eager to get the chance to pull it off in a game. That opportunity came in the first quarter when he took a lateral from Browning and then hit Darrell Daniels for a 39-yard score.That was fun, Pettis said. Ive been joking to my coach that we were never going to call that paly and sure enough we called it today.WORST EVERCal tied the modern school record for points allowed in a game, matching the performance in a 66-0 loss to Alabama in the 1973 season opener.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Huskies should remain fourth in the AP poll .UP NEXTWashington: The Huskies host USC on Saturday.California: The Bears play the other top team in the division when they visit Washington State on Saturday.
