The Kings’ latest win came on Monday, as Peja Stojakovic poured in 31 points in Sacramento’s 125-100 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Bobby Jackson scored 19 points off the bench for the Kings, who have won nine of 10. Vlade Divac added 15 points to go with his eight assists for Sacramento, which placed all five starters in double figures.
