Suns - Kings 96-104

Divac slams down two as Cliff Robinson tries to defend

Phoenix, USA, April 29 (agencies) - Sacramento wrestled the homecourt advantage back from the Phoenix Suns on Sunday with a 104-96 victory.

Chris Webber, smothered by defenders much of the game, scored 23 points for the Kings, while Predrag Stojakovic added 21 and Jason Williams had 14, including nine in a row in the third quarter on two 3-pointers and a three-point play. Vlade Divac, who shot just 4-for-12, slammed home an offensive rebound with 1:33 remaining to make it 94-90. Doug Christie scored 17 points, including a crucial three-pointer that gave the Kings a 97-92 lead with 1:03 remaining. He also harassed All-Star Jason Kidd into 8-of-22 shooting, including 0-of-5 from three-point range.

The sixth-seeded Suns had taken away the home-court advantage by winning Game One in Sacramento and came out firing in this one, opening a 36-19 first quarter lead.

But the Kings rallied within two at halftime as they used a high-speed comeback reminiscent of their March 7 win in Phoenix when they erased a 28-point deficit.

"When we are down 15 or 20, we have so much confidence that we can come back," Sacramento center Vlade Divac said. "We stay together and play our game."

Sacramento leads the best-of-five series 2-1. Game 4 is Wednesday night in Phoenix.
