Cleveland ? Already the NBA’s best home team, Sacramento wants to be Kings of the road, too.

Peja Stojakovic scored 27 of his 37 points in the second half Thursday night, and Sacramento opened its longest road trip of the season with a 95-89 victory over undermanned Cleveland.

The Kings will play their next five away from Arco Arena, where they have dominated in recent years and are a league-best 21-3 this season.

Now, they want to make their out-of-town record (9-7) just as impressive.

“It’s tough to travel, make a long trip in the cold weather,” said Kings guard Mike Bibby, who had a key assist in the final minute. “But that’s what you do in the NBA. You have to play through those things. We did it tonight, and now we have to do it all over again tomorrow (at Memphis).”

Stojakovic, on a tear of late, scored 20 in the third quarter and the Kings held off the Cavs, who played their second straight game without injured rookie LeBron James but nearly rallied from a nine-point deficit in the final minutes.

Brad Miller had a key putback off a missed free throw with 57.5 seconds left as Sacramento became the first Western Conference team to reach 30 wins.

Vlade Divac had 13 points, nine rebounds and nine assists, and Miller had 15 rebounds for the Kings, who have won 10 of 12 overall and are 13-2 against Eastern Conference teams.

Cleveland only dressed nine players and again was without James, who still hasn’t been able to run because of his sprained right ankle.

The Cavs were also short-handed because Jeff McInnis and Ruben Boumtje Boumtje, acquired Wednesday in a trade with Portland for Darius Miles, hadn’t had their physicals yet.

“We’re wounded, but we showed we can play with them,” Cavs guard Kevin Ollie said. “We showed a lot of heart.”

Sure enough, Cleveland was within 89-87 with 1:13 remaining when Wagner made two free throws.

Divac missed a free throw — he clanked his last four from the line — with 57.5 seconds to go, but Miller made the play of the game by smartly sneaking behind Boozer on the baseline to grab the rebound and score while being fouled.

He missed the free throw, but had already done his damage.

“I can’t give all my tricks away,” Miller said with a laugh of his veteran move. “I fooled them with my blazing quickness.”

Kings coach Rick Adelman knew how important Miller’s play was.

“It was huge,” he said. “We usually don’t get the offensive boards, but maybe our time was due. That was an enormous play. If he doesn’t make that play, who knows what happens.”

Mavericks 106, Lakers 87

Dallas — Antawn Jamison scored 26 points in 27 minutes, leading an 18-2 tiebreaking spurt in the third quarter that sent Dallas past the injury-depleted Lakers. Dallas won its sixth straight, stretching its best run of the season. The Mavs also came close to matching the 26-point blowout victory they enjoyed early last season when the Lakers were without Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq is out again, and L.A. also is missing Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone. As a result, the Lakers dropped three straight and four of five games. They’ve also lost nine straight on the road, their longest skid since dropping 10 in a row in 1963-64.

Sonics 103, Warriors 87

Seattle — Antonio Daniels scored 12 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, leading Seattle.

Brent Barry added 17 points for the SuperSonics, who looked great after coming off a woeful 1-3 Eastern road trip. Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis and Ronald Murray each scored 13 points, and Jerome James had 10 rebounds. Golden State’s 35.9 percent shooting was barely better than its season low of 33 percent. Barry and Lewis never left the bench in the final period. Mike Dunleavy led the Warriors with 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Speedy Claxton scored 18.
