MIAMI -- Pat Riley went down in a heap, his legs cut out from under him on a textbook open-field tackle by Doug Christie that sent the Miami Heat coach tumbling to the ground in front of his bench.

The event put Greenpeace on full alert because of the potential for ecological disaster if his hair had hit the court and caused an oil slick.

Riles got back on his feet and averted that crisis but could do nothing about the other messes the Kings created Saturday night. They made Eddie Jones disappear -- Christie again -- reasserted themselves on defense, shut down the Heat on the boards and claimed a convincing 90-75 victory before 17,853 at AmericanAirlines Arena.
