SACRAMENTO, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Washington rallied to defeat Sacramento, 126-119, Thursday night.

Antawn Jamison, Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler combined for 37 of the Wizards' 44 third-quarter points.

Jamison had 33 points, 13 rebounds and four steals for the night. Arenas tallied 30 points, eight boards and seven assists. Butler added 23 points and 10 rebounds.

Washington won for the seventh time in its last nine games, and four of its last five road games.

Kevin Martin notched a career-best 40 points for the Kings, who have lost three in a row and nine of their last 11 contests.

John Salmons replaced an ailing Ron Artest in the Sacramento lineup and had 23 points. Artest missed the game because of sore knees.
