Kings defeat Rockets 102-96
Peja Stojakovic scored 22 points and Bobby Jackson got 10 of his 18 in the fourth quarter to help the Sacramento Kings complete a perfect five-game homestand with a 102-96 victory over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night.
Except for Chris Webber, both teams played superbly in their fourth meeting on two continents in the last six weeks. Houston lost despite making 52 percent of its shots and getting 29 points and nine rebounds from Yao.
Webber scored 11 points on 3-of-17 shooting, but the Kings made just seven turnovers and had 30 assists. They clung to a small lead in the tense final minutes before Miller's three-point play with 2:17 left.
Tracy McGrady scored 25 points — none in the final six minutes — for the Rockets, who lost in Sacramento for the 11th straight time since 1999. Houston played without starting point guard Charlie Ward, a last-minute scratch with a sore right knee. |
