(Basketball News) - Seattle lost to Sacramento, 110-103, in a Pacific Division matchup at KeyArena on Saturday.
Antonio Daniels netted a career-high 30 points and dished out 11 assists for the SuperSonics, who fell for the third straight outing.
The game was knotted at 102-102, but Vlade Divac threw down a two-handed dunk with 1:42 to play and the Kings led the rest of the way. Divac finished with 13 points.
Twelve seconds later Seattle’s Ray Allen was fouled, but only made one of the two free throws and the Sonics trailed 104-103.
The game then went scoreless until there was just 11.7 seconds remaining when Peja Stojakovic hit a pair from the stripe to increase the Kings edge to 106-103.
On the ensuing possession, Allen had a decent look from three-point range that would have tied it, but the ball bounced out and Seattle was forced to foul Brad Miller.
Miller sealed the victory with two points from the foul line to make it a five-point game with only 7.8 seconds left.
This was the third meeting of the season between the teams. The Kings crushed Seattle, 130-99, on January 4, 2004, while the Sonics beat Sacramento, 104-93, three days later at KeyArena.
Seattle is off until Monday it hosts Chicago.
