EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (AP) _ The Sacramento Kings went on a 38-10 run bridging the first and second quarters, and eventually led by as many as 42 points, in defeating New Jersey 118-82 Thursday
It was the first home loss for the Nets since Nov. 16, when the West's other powerhouse _ the Dallas Mavericks _ beat them by eight points. That game at least was competitive, a quality this game lacked for a majority of its 48 minutes.
Peja Stojakovic scored 24 points, Mike Bibby added 23, and Chris Webber had 19 points and 11 rebounds for the Kings, who won their fourth successive game
Lucious Harris and Jason Collins scored 11 points each for the Nets, whose home winning streak was snapped at 13 games.
Trail Blazers 90, Spurs 87
In Portland Oregon, Scottie Pippen and Derek Anderson scored 19 points each as Portland held off San Antonio night for its 11th win in 13 games.
With the score tied at 80-80, Dale Davis hit a turnaround jump-shot and Anderson added a layup with in the final 1:30.
San Antonio's Tim Duncan scored, and his free throw pulled the Spurs within 84-83. But Pippen's running jumper stretched the Blazers' lead and Anderson's driving layup with 17 seconds left put them ahead 88-83.
Duncan narrowed it again to 88-85 with 7.7 seconds to go, but Tony Parker fouled Anderson. He made both foul shots, and Parker's layup with a second left didn't matter.
Stephen Jackson had 18 points and Parker added 17 for the Spurs, who snapped a three-game winning streak.
