Game Story

NEW ORLEANS (Ticker) -- On paper, the game between the 
Sacramento Kings and New Orleans Hornets appeared to be a
mismatch.  On the court, it proved no different.

Brad Miller scored 24 points and Peja Stojakovic added 20 as the
Kings posted their ninth win in 10 games, a 94-81 triumph over
the lowly Hornets, who have lost five straight games.

After having its seven-game winning streak snapped by Minnesota
on Sunday, Sacramento rebounded with a win at Memphis on
Tuesday.  In this one, the Kings fell behind early and ended the
first quarter trailing, 23-21.

But Sacramento came out strong in the second period, opening the
quarter with a 19-0 run in which reserve guard Bobby Jackson
scored nine of his 19 points.

Jackson, who made his first six shots, called the run the Kings'
best stretch of the season.

"Regardless of (New Orleans) missing a lot of people, we came
out and played well," he said.  "We did a great job.  We
executed.  You can't ask for anything better."

David Wesley stopped the bleeding for New Orleans with a pair of
short jumpers to make it 40-27.  But the Hornets scored just
seven points afterward and trailed, 48-34, at halftime.

"In the second quarter, they got hot and we got cold," New
Orleans coach Byron Scott said.  "That was basically the
ballgame.  We were fighting uphill all night long."

Former Hornet Miller and Stojakovic each scored eight points in
the third quarter and Jackson added six in the final 12 minutes
as the Kings rolled to their fourth straight road win after
dropping their first four away from home.

"It was a scary game for me," Sacramento coach Rick Adelman
said.  "(The Hornets are) struggling, they're banged up.  You
feel sorry for them.  They've got to get a win somewhere."

Taking advantage of the absence of Hornets All-Star center
Jamaal Magloire, who is out with a fractured right ring finger,
Miller made 10-of-12 shots after shooting 39 percent in the
previous seven games.

"I finally made some shots.  I hadn't made some in a while,"
Miller said.  "(Magloire is) a heck of a player.  Offensively,
defensively, he puts pressure on you.  We just kept attacking.
They're hurting, so you have to take advantage of it."

Wesley scored 18 points and Junior Harrington added a
season-high 15 off the bench for New Orleans (1-13), which fell
to 0-7 at home.

Harrington and Lee Nailon combined for all the points in an 8-0
run to open the fourth quarter, cutting the deficit to 74-65.
But Jackson made a pair of 3-pointers and Stojakovic sank
another to snuff the rally.

"We need to end this run and get a win some way, somewhere,"
Wesley said.  "Our defense is good in spots, our rebounding is
good in spots and sometimes we turn the ball over at the wrong
time.  Tonight, we almost had to play a perfect second half just
to get back into this game, and we didn't do that."
