Sacramento 105, New Jersey 92
Kings Roll Past Nets For Eighth Straight
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 30 (Ticker) -- The Sacramento Kings delivered an
early knockout of the New Jersey Nets.
Peja Stojakovic scored 17 of his 25 points in the first half as the Kings
built a 32-point cushion at intermission and coasted past the Nets, 105-92
, for their eighth straight victory.
The Kings allowed just 28 points in the opening 24 minutes en route to
their 17th straight home win. New Jersey played better in the second
half but faced too big of a hole, never getting the deficit under double
figures.
It marked the second straight game in which Sacramento gave up just 28
points in the first half. The Kings were coming off a 103-74 rout of
Houston on Friday.
"We jumped on them from the first minute," said Kings center Vlade Divac
, who contributed 15 points. "Everybody in this locker room really likes
what we see out there. We were playing really good defense, which gave
us some more opportunities to score easy points on the break."
Rodney Rogers scored 23 points off the bench for New Jersey, which dropped
to 2-2 on its five-game West Coast swing.
"I can't explain how we came out," Nets coach Byron Scott said. "We did
n't have the type of energy that you would think that we would have
at the beginning of the game. We played with no sense of urgency in the
first half.
The Kings did let down a bit in the second half as the Nets scored 38
points in the third quarter -- to close within 21.
"We came out a little lackadaisical (in the second half)," Kings guard
Bobby Jackson said. "We needed to make sure we didn't give up too many
points and let them make a run."
All five starters scored in double figures for the Kings, who shot just
under 51 percent from the field (39-of-77). Brad Miller scored 20 points
and Mike Bibby and Doug Christie added 14 and 12, respectively.
Sacramento coach Rick Adelman was most impressed with the Kings recording
assists on their first 13 baskets.
"I think the thing that you see over and over again is the unselfishness,"
he said. "If someone's open, the other guy makes the pass."
Kenyon Martin scored 18 points and Jason Kidd added 13 for the Nets, who
registered 16 points in the first quarter and 12 in the second.
"One thing you can pull from it was we didn't throw in the towel," Kidd
said.

國王開砲 籃網臣服

國王今天(1日)在自家地盤展現其兇猛的攻擊火力，當家射手 Peja Stojakovic 三分
球7投4中，砍下全場最高的25分，加上國王團隊投籃命中率高達 51.9%，三分球命中
率也有四成，最後便以 105:92 輕鬆劃破籃網，寫下本季八連勝以及跨季主場17連勝
的佳績。
奪下這場比賽的勝利後，國王將本季主場戰績推進至10勝0負，這也是國王連續第24次
在 Arco Arena 解決東區球隊。而除了 Stojakovic 表現精采外，Brad Miller斬獲20
分、11籃板、5助攻，Vlade Divac 貢獻15分、7籃板、8助攻，兩人聯手捍衛國王禁區
。Mike Bibby獲得14分、5籃板、6助攻，Doug Christie也有12分進帳。
國王從比賽一開始就打得相當順手，遠投、進切、開後門，各種進攻方式都能輕鬆取
分。反觀籃網球員好像忘記怎麼投籃，上半場結束時僅拿下28分，這也是國王連續第
二場比賽將對手上半場的得分壓制在28分。
雖然籃網在第三節急起直追，單節21次出手命中17球，有38分進帳，但他們仍無法確
實擋下國王的進攻氣焰。儘管籃網在第四節多次將落後差距縮小至12分，但始終無法
再有更密集的攻勢，最後才吞下二連敗。
籃網板凳暴徒之一的Rodney Rogers轟下全隊最高的23分，Kenyon Martin斬獲18分、
7籃板，Jason Kidd則有13分、10助攻雙十表現。
