Four-point play propels Kings

? Bobby Jackson converted a four-point play with 29.1 seconds left to help the Sacramento Kings put down a late rally by San Antonio and defeat the Spurs, 95-91, Thursday night.

After Tim Duncan drove for a layup to bring the Spurs within six points in the final minute, Manu Ginobili picked off a pass by Mike Bibby and hit Malik Rose for a breakaway dunk to make it 91-87 with 46.8 seconds remaining.

The Kings ran the shot clock almost all the way down before Bibby found Jackson in the left corner. Jackson hit a fall-away three-pointer while being fouled by Bruce Bowen, and he made the free throw to seal the outcome.

Peja Stojakovic led the Kings with 22 points, while Jackson added 18 and Bibby 17. Jackson made all three of his three-point attempts in the second half. Both teams had the long-distance range. The Kings went 9-for-14 on three-pointers, and the Spurs 7-for-11.

Duncan paced San Antonio with 35 points and 18 rebounds, while Tony Parker scored 19 points and Ginobili 12.

The Spurs made their first five shots while building a 16-5 lead, as the Kings missed eight of their first 10 attempts.

Nets 89, Magic 79

Orlando, Fla. — Jason Kidd scored 20 of his 33 points in the first half, leading New Jersey past Orlando. Interim head coach Lawrence Frank notched his second victory since taking over earlier this week for the fired Byron Scott. The Nets have won three straight.

Kenyon Martin had 18 points while Richard Jefferson added 13. Lucious Harris scored all 12 of his points in the final quarter.

Kidd shot 15-for-27 in breaking out of a slump that saw him score 32 points in his previous three games. He also had 10 rebounds for his 24th double-double of the season.

Blazers 93, Hawks 85

Atlanta — Rasheed Wallace had 11 of his 20 points during a dominating third quarter, and Zach Randolph finished with 22 to help Portland defeat Atlanta.

Damon Stoudamire had 13 assists — including eight during that third quarter — and Darius Miles scored 16 points for Portland.

Stephen Jackson led the Hawks with 15 points, and Jason Terry added 14. Atlanta has lost three of four, including the past two at home, and it still has three left on a five-game homestand.
