Salt Lake City ? Peja Stojakovic broke out of a shooting slump with 30 points, and Chris Webber scored 23 as the Sacramento Kings advanced to the Western Conference semifinals with a 91-86 victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night.

The Kings, seeded first in the West after winning 61 regular-season games, will be home Saturday against Dallas for Game 1 of the conference semifinals after eliminating Utah 3-1.

Utah's greg ostertag, right, looks for an opening while defended by Sacramento's Chris Webber. The Kings clinched their Western Conference playoff series Monday night at Salt Lake City.

Vlade Divac, who predicted the Jazz were “done” after Sacramento’s victory in Game 1, backed up his claim when he hit a three-pointer with 1:29 to play, giving the Kings an 87-81 lead.

“It was a lucky shot,” Divac said. “I just threw it up and it went in.”

Karl Malone scored 14 points but had only three rebounds, and he missed two free throws with 1:22 remaining after Divac put Sacramento ahead by six.

“I didn’t do my job,” Malone said. “I have to accept that.”

John Stockton scored 12 points and had nine assists but the Jazz hurt themselves with 21 turnovers, including six in the fourth quarter that stymied several attempts to get back in it after they erased a nine-point margin.

Doug Christie added 12 points for Sacramento, which moved into the second round for the second straight season. A year ago, the Kings were swept in four games by the Los Angeles Lakers.

Just when Utah clawed back to tie it at 76 on a drive by Malone with 5:15 to play, the Kings reasserted themselves with an 8-0 burst that was fueled by three Jazz turnovers.

Scott Padgett had a putback and a three-point play to get Utah within 84-81 with 1:52 to go, and the Kings seemed to be in trouble when the ball came loose on the perimeter.

But Divac collected it and calmly put up his three-pointer from 28 feet as the shot clock was about to expire. It swished in, and Sacramento was safe.

“I can hit threes, but usually not that far,” Divac said. “When I scored it, I was very happy.”

Stockton pulled Utah to 87-84 when he hit a three-pointer with 51 seconds to go, but Mike Bibby answered with a jumper from the left. On Utah’s next possession, Donyell Marshall missed a three-pointer and the Jazz were forced to foul.

Doug Christie made two free throws with 24.2 seconds left and the Kings started the celebration on the sideline.

This series was much more competitive than it appeared at first glance. Sacramento blew out the Jazz four times in the regular season, a sign the Kings finally were better after years of struggles against Utah.
