New York, November 8 (agencies) - Al Harrington matched a career high with 22 points and was part of a fourth-quarter surge as the Indiana Pacers handed the Kings their first loss of the season, 116-104.
Yugoslav Predrag "Peja" Stojakovic scored 36 points for Sacramento. Stojakovic made 11-of-16 shots, including 5-of-6 3-pointers. But he was limited to 13 points after halftime as Rose did a nice job on the defensive end.
"They pushed me farther from the basket than they did in the first half and they made me go to
the basket and get to the free-throw line," Stojakovic said.
"I slowed him some. I didn't stop him," Rose said.
Bibby added 19, and Yugoslav Vlade Divac had 12 points and 10 rebounds for Sacramento.
Clifford Robinson scored 23 points and Yugoslav Zeljko Rebraca added 15 and nine rebounds in 18 minutes to lead the Detroit Pistons to their fourth straight victory, a 97-73 triumph over the Chicago Bulls.
