There, all done. And now let us never speak of this again.

To say the top-seeded Sacramento Kings struggled to put away the lowest-seeded team in the National Basketball Association's Western Conference playoffs is to understate the matter by half. But when push came to shove -- and it almost always did in this physical first-round series -- they had just enough to slug their way past unruly Utah.

Monday night's fitting finish, a 91-86 victory at the Delta Center that went down to the final minute, gave the Kings the series, three games to one. It wasn't pretty. It contained few truly memorable moments.
