Kings Extend Streak to 6 By Clinton KingsCourt Co-Founder (Written on November 22, 1999)
The Sacramento Kings beat the Houston Rockets Sunday for the second time in four nights. Chris Webber and Jason Williams led the Kings to a 110-105 victory. Webber scored 28, collected 11 rebounds, and had 6 assists; Williams posted a season high 25 points and 12 assists. Sacramento jumped on Houston early, as they outscored them 33-21 in the first quarter. Houston kept making minor comebacks, but the Kings stayed out of reach. Steve Francis, the talented Houston rookie, tried to rally his team with a free throw and a 3-pointer with less than one minute remaining, but the following play, Williams drained a 19-footer right in Francis' eye. This gave Sacramento the five-point lead that they never relinquished.
The slumping Nick Anderson finally put some stats on the board scoring 10 and grabbing 8 boards. Back-up center, Scot Pollard, came up big, scoring 12 with 7 boards. Steve Francis led the Rockets with 21 points and 9 rebounds. |
