SACRAMENTO, CALIF. ? Chris Webber got away with a late mistake. Scott Padgett didn’t.

Webber had 24 points and 12 rebounds and blocked a late three-point attempt by Padgett after missing a clinching free throw as top-seeded Sacramento Kings held off Utah, 89-86, Saturday in Game 1 of their best-of-five series.

Despite forecasts of a lopsided matchup, the Jazz did almost everything they needed to steal a victory from the Kings, who had beaten Utah in four regular-season games.

“This wasn’t a wakeup call,” Webber said. “We knew they were going to play aggressive. We knew we could be in for a tough game in this first one.”

Webber hit a free throw with 7.1 seconds to go, providing the final margin, but also gave the Jazz a final chance by missing the second.

After a timeout, Padgett inbounded to Karl Malone, who kicked it back to Padgett. His three-point attempt was blocked by Webber but the ball went back to John Stockton, whose three-point try bounced high off the rim and was coming back down when Padgett got a hand on the ball and tried to slam it through.

Padgett had no reason to touch the ball because the Jazz needed three points. He was called for offensive goaltending with 0.3 seconds left, giving a raucous Arco Arena crowd a chance to breathe again.

The Jazz had been swept by the Kings 4-0 during the regular season, losing by more than 20 points three times. But Utah was in this one to the end, with Malone scoring 25.

Mike Bibby scored 20 points for the Kings, who finished the season with a franchise-record 61 wins to secure the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference and homecourt advantage through the playoffs.

Spurs 110, SuperSonics 89

San Antonio Tim Duncan recorded the second triple-double of his career and Tony Parker scored 21 points as San Antonio overwhelmed Seattle in Game 1. Duncan finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists for the Spurs, who broke open a game that was tied at halftime by making 15 of 20 shots in the third quarter.

Duncan and Parker each scored 10 points and Steve Smith had eight in the quarter as the Spurs put up 38 points and took a 25-point lead. Smith added 17 points, going 3-of-5 on three-pointers. Malik Rose and Antonio Daniels each scored 13 and Danny Ferry had 11.

The Spurs played most of the game without center David Robinson, who left late in the first quarter when his sore back tightened up.

Vin Baker led Seattle with 22 points. Gary Payton had 19, and Rashard Lewis added 13.

Pacers 89, Nets 83

East Rutherford, N.J. Jermaine O’Neal scored all but two of his 30 points in the first three quarters, and Ron Artest came up with three steals in a critical span of the fourth quarter to lead Indiana past the Nets in Game 1. Reggie Miller scored 17 points, and Brad Miller contributed 18 points and 12 rebounds for Indiana. Jason Kidd had 26 points, nine assists and eight rebounds for New Jersey.

Hornets 80, Magic 79

Charlotte, N.C. Having to carry the offensive load after Jamal Mashburn was hospitalized with flu-like symptoms, Baron Davis scored 28 points and had a key steal with 3 seconds left in Hornets’ Game 1 victory.

Mashburn, Charlotte’s leading scorer at 21.5 points a game, started the game but was replaced by Lee Nailon with 1:40 left in the first quarter.
