As his Kings and the Orlando Magic ran up and down the floor as if they were conducting a continuous fast-break drill, coach Rick Adelman thought back to his days at Pius X High School in Southern California.

Tuesday night was a time for reflection for Adelman, who earned his 500th career victory when the Kings beat the Magic 112-100 at Arco Arena.

With a 500-345 record, Adelman became only the 22nd NBA coach with 500 wins. He is 143-93 with the Kings.

Sacramento also improved to 17-5, the best start in franchise history. The 1948-49 Rochester Royals and the 2000-2001 Kings were 16-6.
