Webber made 10 of his first 11 shots and finished 15-of-18 from the field. He also pulled down seven rebounds, tormenting the team that traded three first-round picks for him on draft day 1993.
After winning the 1994 Rookie of the Year Award with Golden State, Webber was traded following a contract dispute. He came into the game with a career average of 26.5 points per game against Golden State, his best against any team.
"It's not the revenge factor anymore," Webber said. "Even the people from Oakland. Truthfully, when I play here, I try to treat it like a home game because there are a lot of people that wish me well during all my years. And when I'm in Oakland, a lot of people have a lot of nice comments and wish I would stay and so I feel as if I'm playing at home sometimes. And that feels good, to try to show them that they lost me. But I'm still here and trying to have some fun with it too."
Webber averaged 29.7 points per game in three contests against the Warriors last year, leading the Kings in scoring in all three games.
In the first quarter, the Kings opened a 39-22 lead as they shot 81 percent (17-of-21). They shot 44 percent (26-of-59) thereafter.
"It's very amazing," Kings guard Bobby Jackson said. "We're a very scary team to play when we're on top of our game and we're pushing the ball. Everybody played well tonight."
Sacramento's 39-point quarter and 65-point first half represented season bests for the Kings and season worsts for Golden State's defense.
Golden State got as close as 90-82 in the fourth quarter as Sacramento scored only two points in the first 8:15 of the period. Webber then hit a pair of jump shots that allowed the Kings to glide the rest of the way.
Webber capped the victory when he slammed home a lob pass from Jackson with 40 seconds left. Jackson came within a rebound of a triple-double, collecting 17 points and 11 assists.
Forward Antawn Jamison scored 31 points for the Warriors. He has scored 30-plus points in three of Golden State's nine games this season.
"A loss is a loss," Jamison said. "We just gotta do a better job of not letting teams get that big of a lead on us and take advantage of us so we lose the ballgame. We don't care if we lost it by one point or 13. It was still a game where we had opportunities to win but we didn't find a way to pull it, so there's no moral victories as far as keeping the game close or getting blown out with us."
Gilbert Arenas had 10 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds, while Erick Dampier had a solid low post game with 12 rebounds and four blocked shots for Golden State, which has not beaten Sacramento since December 20, 1999.
The Warriors have lost 28 of their last 34 meetings with the Kings, including the last six at home.
Webber received a pair of technical fouls three minutes apart in the third quarter but was not ejected because the second infraction was "not considered an act of unsportsmanlike conduct" according to Rule No. 12, A, Section V of the NBA rules. Webber's second technical was assessed for hanging on the rim after a dunk.
