GAME FLOW
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) _ Chris Webber matched a season high with 37 points as the Sacramento Kings beat Golden State 114-99 on Saturday night, sending the Warriors to their 12th straight loss. The skid is the longest since Golden State lost 14 straight in the 1997-98 season. The club record is a 17-game losing streak during the 1964-65 season. Warriors coach Garry St. Jean is winless in nine games since the former Kings coach took over for the fired P.J. Carlesimo on Dec. 27. Webber added 16 rebounds for his 23rd double-double in 32 games. Corliss Williamson had 23 points, and Vlade Divac had 14 for the Kings, winners of four straight. Jason Williams had 10 assists to go with nine points. Antawn Jamison had 23 points to lead the Warriors, who haven't won since a Dec. 20 victory over the Kings. The Kings, leading 90-84, began the fourth quarter in spectacular fashion with Webber dunking off an alley-oop pass from Jon Barry. Fouled by Vonteego Cummings, Webber converted the free throw for a three-point play and a nine-point advantage. Golden State then ran off eight straight points, pulling to 93-92 on Jamison's short hook shot, but the Kings answered with an 11-1 run that carried them to a 104-93 lead with 5:11 left. The flurry was punctuated by Barry's breakaway dunk after a Golden State turnover, and a twisting one-handed layup by Williams that turned into a three-point play when he was fouled by Adonal Foyle. Golden State got no closer than seven the rest of the way. Webber had 22 points in first half to help the Kings take a 63-58 lead. The Warriors, who trailed 44-37 after Predrag Stojakovic's driving layup with 6:03 left in the second, came back to go in front 58-57 on Mookie Blaylock's 3-pointer, but Webber scored six straight points over the final 49 seconds of the period _ twice hitting long jumpers off feeds from Williams _ to put the Kings back in front. Notes: Sacramento, which led the league in scoring last season, has reached 100 points in 25 of 34 games this season. The Kings are 21-4 when reaching the century mark. ... Golden State is 0-21 when the opposition scores 100 or more points. ... The Kings improved to 8-10 on the road. ... Sacramento (22-12) is off to the franchise's best start since 1964-65.
