Armed with the league's best record and one of its most prolific offenses, Sacramento will be looking to sweep the Spurs for the first time in the rivalry's 26-year history.

"I don't look at this as a measuring stick," David Robinson said. "I look at it as a game we have to win. It's just that simple. We're at a stage now where all these games are important. There's no more room for a learning curve. It's time to get it going."

The Spurs, as they well know, haven't gone anywhere against Sacramento this season. The Kings have won all three games between the teams this season ? including two without the services of Chris Webber ? four straight overall and eight of the past 11.
