NBA: Sacramento 120, Dallas 102

SACRAMENTO, March 12 (UPI) -- Peja Stojakovic and Doug Christie each scored 22 points Thursday night as Sacramento had five players with 16 or more en route to a 120-102 rout of Dallas.

Dallas defeated Sacramento in the 2003 Western Conference semifinals after Kings forward Chris Webber suffered a knee injury in Game 2. Webber returned last week and Sacramento -- finally close to full strength -- gave the Mavericks a taste of what they missed last year.
