SACRAMENTO, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- The Sacramento Kings withstood Jason Kidd's second straight triple-double Saturday night to post a 98-97 victory over the New Jersey Nets as Peja Stojakovic scored 29 points and Vlade Divac added 18 and 19 rebounds.
Kidd recorded his 40th career triple-double with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. He hit a three-pointer with nine seconds remaining to pull New Jersey within 96-95.
But Stojakovic made two free throws at the other end. Kidd had a chance for a tying three-pointer, which would have been his third overtime-forcing shot in the first four games of this five-game road trip. But with Bobby Jackson in his face, Kidd's shot was way off. Keith Van Horn tipped in the rebound at the buzzer.
Mike Bibby contributed 16 points for Sacramento, which improved to 7-0 at Arco Arena. The Kings had won their first six home games by an average of 21.7 points.
Kenyon Martin scored 20 points and Van Horn contributed 19 and 10 rebounds for the Nets, who fell to 2-2 on their trip.
