Jason Richardson's lopsided scoring performance led the Warriors back to defeat the Kings for the first time at Arco Arena in 11 attempts.  Richardson scored all of his 26 points in the second half.

"I was aware of that (losing streak), but we haven't won in a lot of places," Richardson said. "It's huge for us. Sacramento has had our number the last couple of years."

The Warriors trailed the Kings by 10 at the half and outscored them by 13 in the 3rd frame.

"The difference in the whole game was Jason Richardson; it's that simple," said Webber, who led the Kings with 28 points.

Big Ticket Scores A Season-High 35 Defeating Webber And The Kings

Dec 11, 2004 6:39 AM

Kevin Garnett scored a season-high 35 points with 18 rebounds and nine assists, and the Minnesota Timberwolves came from behind to defeat the Sacramento Kings 113-105 Friday night.

"The luxury of this team is that I'm like Peyton Manning," Garnett said. "My job is to get everybody touches. Granted, I make the game easier for a lot of people."

"We had 'em," Chris Webber said, after scoring 25 points. "Their energy went up and we didn't keep our groove. And when they're feeding off their crowd, you know they're going to try to make a run."

"They do so much cutting and freelancing," Garnett said. "Sac is about as close as it gets to playground basketball."

Stojakovic finished the game with 27 points, including 6 threes on a night when Quentin Richardson had 8 of his own.

"You don't know what's going to happen in a 48-minute game," Miller said. "That's the beauty of it, you've got to play the whole game."
