Sacramento 106, Golden State 104
Kings Down Warriors in Squeaker
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 16(Ticker) -- Bobby Jackson may not be a starter, but he
is a tremendous finisher.
Jackson scored 12 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter, including the
tiebreaking three-pointer with 50 seconds to go, lifting the Sacramento
Kings to a spirited 106-104 victory over the Golden State Warriors.
The winner of the 2003 Sixth Man Award, Jackson did not start the second
half, even though Kings guard Doug Christie remained in the locker room
with a foot injury. But he came on in the fourth quarter and sparked the
Kings, who improved to 5-0 at home.
After a three-pointer by Cliff Robinson pulled the Warriors into a 101-101
tie with 1:05 to play, Jackson responded with his three-pointer, giving the
Kings the lead for good.
"They left me open in the corner and I just knocked it down," Jackson said.
"They have confidence in me and I just knocked the shot down."
"Bobby is always big off the bench for us," said forward Peja Stojakovic,
who led the Kings with 33 points and 11 rebounds. "He comes in and brings
a lot of energy and he usually makes big shots for us, like tonight."
Golden State got a follow shot from Erick Dampier and forced a shot clock
violation. The Warriors went to Jason Richardson, who scored 10 of his
season-high 31 points in the final five minutes. But he missed a driving
scoop shot.
"That was real tough," Richardson said. "I usually make that shot. It was
just so open."
Stojakovic made two foul shots with 1.3 seconds remaining. Jackson fouled
Richardson before he could shoot a potential tying three-pointer.
"He is one of those guys with no fear, no limits," said Kings center Brad
Miller, who had 11 points, a career-high 11 assists and 9 rebounds. "He's
going to shoot the ball and make plays. He's one of those playmakers that
everyone wants to have on their team."
Last season, Warriors coach Eric Musselman said he would rather play in
China than Sacramento, and it is easy to understand why. Golden State has
lost 15 straight games in the series and 10 in a row here dating to March
9, 1998.
"A few bounces here and a few bounces there, we probably could have won
this game," said forward Mike Dunleavy, one of five Warriors in double
figures with 14 points.
Jackson had a quiet first half and did not play in the third quarter, when
Kings coach Rick Adelman used Gerald Wallace to fill in for Christie. The
strategy worked as Wallace scored six of his 11 points in a 20-5 surge that
turned a 10-point deficit into an 80-75 lead early in the fourth quarter.
"There's two things that keep Gerald on the floor -- his energy level and
going to the boards," Adelman said. "He's just got to find a way to do
those things consistently." Jackson answered a three-pointer by Richardson
with one of his own, giving the Kings a 96-92 lead with 4:13 remaining.
His backdoor layup made it 101-94 before the Warriors rallied.
"I just try to come in and pick up the guys," Jackson said. "I didn't do
too much in the first half. I only had three shots and didn't get too many
rebounds."
