The fourth frame was all Sacramento as it started it with a 27-10 run to clinch the victory. Bibby also completed this spurt with two from the stripe and the Kings led 96-77 with just about three minutes let to play.

The Kings are 11-2 in Sunday games.

Sacramento is off until Tuesday when it hosts Stephon Marbury and the New York Knicks.
