Game Story


SACRAMENTO, California (Ticker) -- The Vancouver Grizzlies had a
chance to move above .500 and snap a 24-game road losing streak
tonight.  But the Sacramento Kings snuffed those chances. 


Chris Webber scored 19 points as the Kings posted their third
straight win, 81-77, to extend Vancouver's road misery. 


The Grizzlies had never been above .500 after six games in team
history but appeared to have a good chance of doing so tonight.
Trailing 78-75 with less than 30 seconds to play, the Grizzlies
had the ball and a chance to tie.  But Shareef Abdur-Rahim
inexplicably drove the lane and dished to Bryant Reeves, who was
rejected by Sacramento center Vlade Divac. 


As the ball skipped toward the end line, Divac left his feet and
sent an off-balance pass to Jon Barry, who was fouled and sank
both free throws to give the Kings a five-point lead with 14
seconds remaining. 


"We didn't score a lot of points, but our defense helped stay in
the game and put us in the situation to win," Divac said. 


Abdur-Rahim, who had 24 points and a season-high 18 rebounds,
responded with a driving layup, but Jason Williams made 1-of-2
at the line to seal the victory for Sacramento. 


Divac had 11 points and eight rebounds and Tyrone Corbin
collected 10 boards off the bench for the Kings (4-1), who have
not lost since dropping the back end of their season-opening
two-game trip to Japan against Minnesota. 


The Grizzlies (3-4) have started each of the past two seasons by
splitting their first six games and have not won on the road
since a 93-89 double-overtime triumph against the Los Angeles
Clippers on February 16. 


The Kings, who led the NBA in scoring in the lockout-shortened
campaign, failed to reach 100 points for the first time this
season. 


"There's going to be nights like this," Sacramento guard Nick
Anderson said after misfiring on 10 of 11 shots.  "You know
there's going to be nights where you won't be able to hit
anything.  But you need to just win ball games and that's what
we did.  This was a defensive win tonight." 


Othella Harrington scored a season-high 22 points and grabbed 12
rebounds for the Grizzlies, who shot 37 percent (31-of-83) and
held a 56-53 advantage on the boards. 


"That game was out there for the taking.  You could taste it,"
Harrington said.  "That's a good team over there and we played
well considering the fact that we had a lot of turnovers." 


Barry tallied 10 points for Sacramento, which shot a season-low
32 percent (31-of-96) but forced 23 turnovers. 


"Some nights, it's just like pulling teeth and tonight was one
of them," Sacramento coach Rick Adelman said.  "I don't know if
we ever would have won a game last year shooting 32 percent.  We
got a few breaks and we just hung in there.  I'm just pleased to
get the win however I get it." 


The Kings appeared to take the game by the throat in the third
quarter. Williams sank a 3-pointer to spark an 8-0 run capped by
Webber's thunderous dunk, giving the Kings a 60-52 lead with
5:24 remaining in the period. 


But the Grizzlies chipped away and whittled the lead to 70-69 on
Mike Bibby's 20-footer with 7:20 to play.  Barry hit a technical
free throw, Webber knocked down a seven-footer and a free throw
and Corbin's 20-footer from the left corner made it 78-70 with
4:52 left. 


"We could have played better," Bibby said.  "We had a chance to
win the game at the end, but we just didn't capitalize."
