SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Bobby Jackson and Hedo Turkoglu figured rather than wait for the halftime salsa dancing contest to end, they'd join in on it. They put their hands together and performed their own version for a few seconds along the baseline.

Same carefree Sacramento Kings, and same result.

Jackson scored 17 points off the bench in 25 minutes and the Kings snapped a five-game losing streak to Indiana, defeating the struggling Pacers 107-88 on Sunday night.

``I don't know anything about the salsa,'' Jackson said. ``We're always loose. If you're not loose on this team, you shouldn't be on it. We were just trying to get a laugh. It was a tight game at halftime and we wanted to get the fans in it.''

Chris Webber had 16 points, 12 rebounds and six assists as Sacramento won its fourth straight, and seventh in a row at home, where the Kings have been beaten only five times in 32 games this season.

Indiana, which lost its fourth straight and ninth in a row on the road, played without fiery forward Ron Artest, who was suspended Sunday for one game after accumulating six flagrant foul points, and center Brad Miller. Artest knocked Portland's Bonzi Wells to the floor Saturday night after they collided and bumped heads when Wells was driving for the basket. Miller missed the game with a sore left foot, which he hurt against the Trail Blazers.

Jermaine O'Neal scored 18 of his 20 points in the first half for Indiana, including 10 straight during one run, but left the game with 7:50 to go in the third with what the team called a ``moderately'' sprained left ankle and did not return.

``Their team was short-handed but we've gone places short-handed and won,'' Kings coach Rick Adelman said. ``I told our guys before the game and at halftime, 'I don't care who they don't have, they have guys that can play.'''

Al Harrington had 27 points, 11 rebounds and four assists for the Pacers, but was ejected with 41.1 seconds left after getting his second technical of the game. He fouled Sacramento's Gerald Wallace and then kept his arms around Wallace as he pushed him out of bounds. Players and officials had to break them up.

``He snatched my arm away and I was just holding him,'' Harrington said. ``I said 'Calm down.' I didn't try to throw him down. The ref thought I was trying to start a fight. I wasn't going there.''

The Pacers had won three of the past four meetings in Arco Arena, including 97-86 last season. But the Kings are 14-0 against the Eastern Conference at home this season and sent the Pacers to their 10th loss in 11 games. Indiana shot 38.2 percent to Sacramento's 51.8.

Mike Bibby added 17 points and Peja Stojakovic had 14 in another balanced offensive effort by the Pacific Division leaders.

In six minutes in the first half, Jackson was 5-of-6 for 12 points, including Sacramento's first nine of the second quarter.

O'Neal kept the Pacers within striking distance, scoring 10 straight midway through the second. O'Neal's two free throws at 3:20 started a 9-0 run that pulled the Pacers within 52-49 in the final minute of the half. The Kings went nearly three minutes without a field goal, but led 54-49 at halftime and never relinquished the lead.

Indiana has not won on the road since a 102-95 victory at Miami on Jan. 27.

``I thought not having Jermaine, or Brad or Ron was a little too much for us to overcome tonight,'' coach Isiah Thomas said. ``We're starting to compete again.''

Sacramento made 11 of its first 17 shots (64.7 percent) to build a 29-15lead late in the first quarter. Indiana started the game 6-for-18.

Notes

Indiana's nine consecutive road losses is the team's longest streak since dropping nine straight away from home from Feb. 2-March 14 in the 1992-93 season. ... Thomas didn't dispute Artest's suspension, his fourth of the season. ``Clearly it affects our team in a great way,'' Thomas said before the game. ``The penalty was justified. The rules are the rules, and we'll pay the price. I see how the referee could have viewed it that way. I think there were a lot of things leading up to the foul that got him upset.'' ... Turkoglu had nine points and three rebounds in 22 minutes, and Adelman said he expects to play his reserves more down the stretch. In a recent span of five games,Turkoglu played 10 minutes in each.
