Lawrence Funderburke scored a season-high 16 points off the bench and Stojakovic finished with 11 and eight rebounds for the Kings.
"Our guys have just been playing with a new determination," Sacramento coach Rick Adelman said. "They understand that other players have to step up. They just believe that they can. It doesn't matter who we play, they just believe they can win and that attitude has rubbed off on me."

Bibby nailed a jumper and Turkoglu sank two free throws to make it 96-92 before Duncan was fouled dunking over Vlade Divac and converted the free throw.
Turkoglu made 1-of-2 free throws with 17 seconds left, and Duncan forged the final tie of regulation on the next possession, driving past Divac and banking the ball off the glass with his right hand.
"Sometimes when you have a chance to win a game in regulation and you fail to do that, you have a let down," Adelman said. "I was proud of the way our guys were able to sustain their effort and see this game through."
