He went 9-for-11, but the Kings held only a 56-54 lead at the break. He scored just four points in the second half on 1-of-7 shooting, but the 35-year-old Divac more than picked things up.

He scored 12 points after the break and dominated the boards. His jumper with 5:24 remaining gave the Kings a 91-88 lead and started a 13-5 surge to close the contest.

The Bucks, a team loaded with offensive talent that includes Ray Allen and Sam Cassell, went scoreless for the final 2:17 and suffered their second straight loss.
