Mike Bibby has made a world of diffence to the Sacramento Kings. Very soon NBA fans will be able to find out just how much.

The Kings made quick work of the Dallas Mavericks, a team many expected to not only give Sacramento huge problems but very likely win the series. Instead, they were left praising the rising new power in the west following a 114-101 Sacramento win in game five of their Western Conference semi-final tilt.

Sacramento takes the series, four games to one, and will now face the winner of the Spurs vs. Lakers series. With Los Angeles leading three games to one, it certainly appears the NBA and its fans will get the matchup they have been looking forward to all season.
