SACRAMENTO, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Chris Webber had 28 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists Sunday night as the Sacramento Kings defeated the Phoenix Suns, 103-100, for their eighth straight victory.
The winning streak matches their longest since moving from Cincinnati prior to the 1972-73 season.
Peja Stojakovic added 25 points and eight rebounds for Sacramento, which had not played since beating Milwaukee last Sunday. Webber had a triple-double in that game.
The winning streak equals the Kings' longest since a nine-game run during the 1949-50 season, when the franchise was based in Rochester, N.Y.
Hedo Turkoglu hit a three-pointer with two seconds left in the third quarter, enabling the Kings to take a 78-68 advantage into the final period. Doug Christie converted from the arc to begin the fourth quarter and give Sacramento its biggest lead at 81-68.
Sacramento had a 95-87 lead after Turkoglu made a pair of free throws with 2:15 left. Phoenix made a late run to get within 96-93 on a turnaround hook by Shawn Marion with 53 seconds left, but Turkoglu and Bobby Jackson each sank two free throws over the next 24 seconds to give the Kings a 100-93 cushion.
The Suns got within 103-100 on Tony Delk's three-pointer with five seconds left, but the Kings were able to run out the clock.
Jackson added 18 points and Christie 15 for Sacramento, which won its 13th straight game at Arco Arena and improved to a league-best 20-1 at home.
Stephon Marbury had 33 points and Rodney Rogers added 24 for the Suns, who have lost six of seven.
Sacramento made 30 of 35 free throws while Phoenix converted just 11 of 17.
Webber had 18 points, 11 rebounds and five assists to stake Sacramento to a 48-44 halftime lead. Rogers had 15 and Marbury 13 at the break for Phoenix.
