SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 7 (Ticker) -- After an astoundingly successful road trip, the Sacramento Kings returned home to make quick work of the New York Knicks.

Chris Webber scored 16 points and grabbed 14 rebounds as the Kings placed eight players in double figures and rolled to their eighth straight victory, a 116-82 rout of the listless Knicks.

Sacramento capped a 6-0 road trip with a victory at Utah on Friday that extended its road winning streak to a franchise-record seven games. The Kings were back at ARCO Arena on Sunday in front of their usual raucous sellout crowd and easily improved the league's best home record to 34-4.

"I don't know what to say," Sacramento coach Rick Adelman said. "Our guys were just terrific all night long. We had energy and focus from the start."

The Kings used a 13-2 run to build their first 20-point lead at 51-31 with 5:28 remaining in the first half. Reserve Bobby Jackson scored nine points in the run.

New York's Allan Houston briefly stemmed the tide with a jumper. Peja Stojakovic and Scot Pollard each had four points as Sacramento ran off 12 in a row for a 30-point advantage. Hedo Turkoglu's three-pointer at the buzzer provided a 66-35 halftime cushion.

Sacramento remained 3½ games ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers in the Pacific Division race. The Kings need three wins to reach 60 for the first time and clinch the best record in the NBA.

With the outcome settled, the lone intrigue in the second half was the ongoing battle between Latrell Sprewell and former Knick Doug Christie. Christie slapped Sprewell in the face on one possession and Sprewell returned the favor with a hard shove in which Christie's jaw took the brunt of the attack.

The players were whistled for a double technical foul near the midway point of the third quarter with Sacramento comfortably ahead, 83-41.

"When you're going to let guys push you around, stuff happens," Sprewell said. "It's about showing people that we are not going to roll over and we are going to finish this thing out."

Webber and Sprewell, who are good friends, hung out the day before the game, but that was all the hospitality shown by Sacramento. The Kings outscored the Knicks, 56-24, in the paint and convincingly avenged a 113-96 defeat in New York on March 14 in which Webber did not play.

"We knew coming into this game that we owed these guys because they beat us in New York," Jackson said. "This is the best I have seen a team play that I have been a part of."

Sacramento demonstrated the style of play that has made it among the game's most exciting teams with a stunning passing and shooting display. On one sequence, four Kings touched the ball in a span of four seconds and the ball did not hit the floor until Vlade Divac converted an easy layup.

"On the bench, I said to myself, 'What are we doing?'" Turkoglu said. "A couple times, guys were wide open but we didn't shoot. We still kept the ball moving. But that's our team. We just try to find the best guy for the shot."

Christie made a nifty back pass for a dunk and Webber almost pulled off the game's signature highlight when he took off on a 3-on-1 fast break. Webber went behind his back and threw the ball high off the backboard before tipping the ball behind his head to Pollard, who missed his layup attempt.

"It was a great game tonight," Webber said. "We have matured a lot. Maybe before, the lead would never have gotten that high. I am just happy that we are playing well and it feels good."

In the first half, Sacramento had 19 assists on 28 baskets and came up with 10 steals. New York committed 13 turnovers in the first half.

Jackson and Turkoglu each finished with 15 points and Divac added 14 and eight rebounds. Stojakovic netted 13 points and Christie provided a huge spark with 10 points, eight assists and six steals before fouling out in the third quarter.

New York narrowly avoided its worst loss of the season, a 111-68 defeat to Charlotte on Jan. 21. Sprewell scored 19 points and Houston added 18 and a career-high 12 rebounds.

"They attacked us at both ends of the floor," Knicks coach Don Chaney said. "They are the best passing team in the league, no question about it. They are a very unselfish team."

Houston and Sprewell combined to make just 13-of-35 shots. Chaney left both players in for the entire second half.
