Sacramento 116, L.A. Clippers 109
Bibby Wears Crown in Late Stages
LOS ANGELES, Jan 3 (Ticker) -- The Los Angeles Clippers gave Mike Bibby
a chance to win the game and he took it.
Bibby found Brad Miller for a key basket, then drilled six free throws
in the final minute as the Sacramento Kings posted a 116-109 triumph
over the Clippers.
Predrag Drobnjak's jumper put the Clippers on top, 105-103, with 2:08 to
go, but Peja Stojakovic buried a three-pointer 13 seconds later to give
Sacramento the lead for good. Bibby found Miller for a layup 42 seconds
later, pushing the Sacramento edge to 108-105.
Los Angeles came up empty on its next possession and opted to foul Bibby
immediately. An 83.5 percent free-throw shooter, Bibby made both.
Corey Maggette had a layup with 37 seconds remaining and the Clippers
employed the same strategy by fouling Bibby, who again made both. Bibby
added two free throws with 27 seconds to go, sealing Sacramento's 16th
win in the last 17 meetings with the Clippers.
Bibby finished with 24 points, going 11-of-12 from the line.
The strategy to foul Bibby mystified Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy, who
questioned his team's mental approach.
"We took fouls not knowing the clock, not knowing the situation of the
game," Dunleavy said. "I told the fellas I could care less about losing
the game as opposed to just not understanding. ... That's just
disappointing. ... I'd be upset if I was coaching an eighth-grade team."
"We just committed some fouls and made some stupid mistakes in that last
minute," Maggette added.
Drobnjak led the Clippers with a season-high 22 points in 24 minutes off
the bench.
"He gave us a great lift," Dunleavy said. "He came in and played real well
for us. He gave us a chance and got us back in the game. He had a great
game."
Maggette and Quentin Richardson added 21 apiece for the Clippers, who lost
guard Marko Jaric to a sprained left foot midway through the third quarter.
He did not return and is listed as day-to-day.
Sacramento's Doug Christie had 22 points on 10-of-12 shooting and 10
assists. Stojakovic added 21 points as six of the nine Kings who played
had at least 10.
"It's a good win and a good way to start the new year," Kings coach Rick
Adelman said.
