Wednesday, Nov. 22 10:30pm ET
Sacramento 100, Chicago 71

RECAP | BOX SCORE | GAME FLOW

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) _ Chris Webber returned to the lineup with 29 points and 13 rebounds as the Sacramento Kings pulled away in the second half for a 100-71 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.

After missing the last two games with an ankle sprain, Webber scored 10 of the Kings' first 15 points. He made 12 of 21 shots and added five assists, helping Sacramento win for the sixth time in seven games.

Following a sluggish first half offensively, the Kings produced a 13-1 run that started midway through the third quarter. Sacramento opened the fourth quarter with eight straight points to take a 76-57 lead.

The Bulls, the NBA's lowest scoring team, shot 34 percent from the field.

It was the seventh straight loss for the Bulls, who have one game remaining on a seven-game road trip.

Peja Stojakovic scored 13 points for Sacramento, Bobby Jackson had 12 and Jason Williams added 11 points and seven rebounds. Vlade Divac scored 10 points and had 12 rebounds.

Elton Brand led the Bulls with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Ron Artest had 14 points, while both Ron Mercer and Corey Benjamin had 10.

Holding a 55-53 lead in the third quarter, the Kings made their move. Divac made a reverse layup and Webber followed with a jumper, giving Sacramento a six-point lead.

A layup by Hidayet Turkoglu and Williams' long jumper put the Kings ahead 63-53 and closed the 13-1 run. Chicago scored only four points in the final six minutes of the third quarter, all on foul shots.

In a sloppy first half that featured 23 turnovers, Webber scored 17 points to help the Kings take a 45-39 lead at the break.

Notes: The Bulls have scored 100 or more points in only eight of their last 143 games. ... After scoring 32 points in his last game, Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers, Kings guard Doug Christie did not take a shot in the first half and went scoreless. ... Referee Derek Richardson strained his right knee in the first quarter and did not return.
