In their first game without forward Chris Webber, the Sacramento Kings travelled to Dallas and blew a 4th quarter lead, losing 122-113.

Don Nelson was ejected and Avery Johnson took over as general.

"I'm really proud of us gutting this win out," said assistant coach Avery Johnson, who took over for Nelson. "They handled a lot of adversity during the course of the game. ... Everybody that touched the court tonight contributed in some way."

Both teams suited just eight players, as they were both active before the trade deadline.
