SACRAMENTO, CALIF. — On a night when Peja Stojakovic and Ray Allen put on a three-point shooting display, Chris Webber's inside play made the biggest impact.
Webber had 28 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists for his 15th career triple-double as Sacramento extended its winning streak to seven games with a 115-101 victory over Milwaukee on Sunday.
"I didn't even know about the triple double, but Vlade (Divac) was on the bench trying to tell me about it," Webber said. "I finally got what he was saying."
The Kings have won 12 straight games at Arco Arena to improve their NBA-best home record to 19-1 this season. The Bucks have lost four straight.
Stojakovic scored 29 points for the Kings, hitting seven three-pointers as the teams combined to make an arena-record 25 shots from three-point range. The previous record was set last Jan. 17 when the Kings and Boston combined for 24.
Allen, who defeated Stojakovic in last year's three-point shooting contest at the All-Star game, also made seven three-pointers and scored 29 points for the Bucks, who had beaten the Kings in five of their last six meetings.
Webber started slow, scoring only eight first-half points, but he was a key factor as the Kings outscored Milwaukee 64-51 in the second half.
Bobby Jackson, making his second start of the season, had a season-high 22 points, and Divac had eight points and 13 rebounds. Tim Thomas added 20 points, Michael Redd 16 and Rafer Alston 14.
Doug Christie, who had 19 points and five steals, started the fourth quarter with a layup and a three-pointer, giving the Kings their biggest lead at 89-69.
"You can't give that team much because they gain momentum," Allen said. "In the third quarter, we gave them way too much."
Kings point guard Mike Bibby sat out the game with a right leg injury, missing the first game of his career after starting 248 straight, the second longest streak in the NBA. Utah's John Stockton has started 311 consecutive games.
Lakers 109, Raptors 89
Toronto Kobe Bryant outscored Vince Carter 31-24 as Los Angeles beat Toronto. Shaquille O'Neal, playing his second game since coming off the injured list, added 24 points and six rebounds in 38 minutes for the Lakers.
Carter played just three minutes of the fourth period after picking up his fifth foul in the third. The Raptors took just five free throws, while the Lakers were 21 of 29.
Sonics 89, Grizzlies 77
Memphis, Tenn. Gary Payton had 24 points and 11 assists to lead Seattle past Memphis. Payton was 10-of-19 from the field and controlled the game when the Grizzlies tried to put together a fourth-quarter comeback. It was Seattle's seventh win in its last eight games. Rashard Lewis added 19 for Seattle, while Brent Barry had 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Jason Williams led Memphis with 19 points and 11 assists.
Heat 92, Warriors 84
Miami Eddie Jones scored 22 points and Alonzo Mourning added 21 for Miami, and the Heat held off a late rally to beat Golden State. Despite winning its third straight game for the first time this season, Miami remained the only team not to score at least 100 points. Antawn Jamison scored 31 points for Golden State, which lost its fifth straight game.
