OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) Jason Richardson scored 25 points, and Nick Van Exel hit a running shot in the lane with 18.8 seconds left to help Golden State snap a 15-game losing streak against Sacramento.
Van Exel scored five points in the final moments as the Warriors barely held on for an impressive sweep of the NBA's top two teams. Golden State beat the Lakers 107-98 on Tuesday night before harassing the Kings into a rare night of poor shooting _ and then holding on against Sacramento's last-ditch rally.
The Kings trailed 93-79 with 4:01 left before going on a 12-0 run keyed by seven points from Mike Bibby, who finished with 28. But Bibby _ an 83 percent foul shooter _ missed two free throws with 51 seconds left, and Peja Stojakovic missed an open jumper.
Clippers 101, 76ers 98
LOS ANGELES (AP) Quentin Richardson scored 22 points and Elton Brand had 20 points and nine rebounds as all five starters scored in double figures for Los Angeles.
The Clippers shot 48.7 percent, improving to 8-1 when they shoot 45 percent or better from the field. Corey Maggette had 18 points for Los Angeles, which won its fifth straight at home.
The 76ers, missing three-time NBA scoring champ Allen Iverson for the sixth straight game because of a bruised right knee, lost for the fifth time in seven games despite having six players in double figures.
Eric Snow recorded his third straight double-digit assist game with 13, but shot only 5-for-14 and missed a game-tying 3-point attempt at the buzzer.
Trail Blazers 101, Timberwolves 92
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Jeff McInnis had 21 points and eight assists, and Portland snapped Minnesota's six-game winning streak.

Kevin Garnett had 27 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists for the Timberwolves. Sam Cassell added 23 points and Latrell Sprewell had 21.
Cassell scored on a runner to pull the Timberwolves to 97-92 with 38.7 seconds remaining, but Person answered with a turnaround jumper from the top of the key with 17.5 seconds left.
