EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Kings forward Hedo Turkoglu felt right at home at New Jersey's Continental Airlines Arena on Monday night.

And that was a good thing, even though his homeland of Turkey was hit by a devastating earthquake Sunday.

"There were a lot of people from Turkey who live here," Turkoglu said of the groups of fans estimated between 500 and 1,000 who chanted his formal first name, "Hidayet," sometimes when he was on the bench and loudly when he was on the floor.
