Antonio Daniels scored 14 of his 18 points in the 4th quarter to help the Sonics outlast the Kings in a game of playoff intensity.  The loss was Sacramento's 3rd this season to Seattle.

``The intensity of the game was pretty high up there,'' Ray Allen said. ``It was great to be on the winning side.''

``Sacramento is such a good team it took everything we had to stop those guys,'' coach Nate McMillan said. ``It came down to who would make the plays.''

Peja Stojakovic led the Kings with 28 points, while Cuttino Mobley had 23 points and Chris Webber had 19 points and nine rebounds.
