SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 29 (Ticker) -- If Bobby Jackson keeps playing like this, there will be no need for Mike Bibby to hurry back.

Jackson scored a career-high 31 points and fueled a second-half run as the Sacramento Kings remained perfect at home with a 107-94 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

When Bibby broke his foot in October, Jackson moved into the starting lineup. One of the best bench players in the NBA, Jackson has played superbly as a starter, averaging 19.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists.

"I think I am playing better than I've ever played before," Jackson said. "I just had to get the chance to play and my coaches and teammates believe in me and they let my game come to me. I worked a lot on my game in the summer and it is paying off."

Bibby is due to return in two weeks, but there doesn't seem to be any sense of urgency. Jackson made 12-of-17 shots, pulled down eight rebounds and handed out five assists as he surpassed his previous high of 28 points with Denver in 1998.

"I really can't wait until Mike gets back so I can get back to my usual minutes and give my body a break," Jackson said.

Jackson scored eight points in a 10-2 burst that closed the third quarter and gave the Kings an 83-68 lead. He added three points as Sacramento scored the first eight of the final period to turn it into a blowout.

Doug Christie scored a season-high 25 points for the Kings, who improved to 8-0 at Arco Arena. Christie had five of Sacramento's season-high nine three-pointers.

"Just putting them up there, kind of gives you the confidence that you're going to make it," Christie said.

The Kings won despite using just eight players. Second-year forward Gerald Wallace played in place of the injured Peja Stojakovic and Hedo Turkoglu and contributed 13 points and 10 rebounds.

"That tells you about the strength of our team," Jackson said. "When someone goes down, someone steps up and Gerald stepped up. ... We need everyone to step up and play until everyone gets back and is healthy."

"We talked about it this morning," Kings coach Rick Adelman said. "We said, 'I don't care if we have seven, eight, nine guys, you know we're playing at Arco, we should win.' We have to go with that attitude. There are no excuses in this league."

Kings All-Star forward Chris Webber left during the game with an upset stomach. He later returned and scored 16 points.

Elton Brand had 25 points and 12 rebounds for the Clippers, who have lost five straight meetings with the Kings and nine straight visits to Sacramento since Nov. 7, 1997.

"Bobby Jackson had that flurry and that really set us back," Brand said. "Bobby just really took over the game."

The Kings took the lead for good at 18-16 on a driving layup by Wallace with 4:26 left in the first quarter. Christie's 13 points helped Sacramento open a 30-22 lead after one quarter.

The Clippers trailed, 50-41, at halftime but closed to 63-57 midway through the third quarter. It was still just 73-66 until Jackson caught fire with three straight three-pointers and a reverse layup.

"Bobby Jackson broke the game open," Clippers coach Alvin Gentry said. "We were close enough to be within striking distance. I think we had it down to six and he scored 11 straight."

Jackson opened the final period with a basket and free throw. Webber's jump shot made it 91-68 with 9:37 to go.

The Kings shot 49 percent (40-of-81), including 9-of-20 from the arc.

Rookie Marko Jaric scored 19 points and Andre Miller added 13 and 11 assists for the Clippers, who shot 41 percent (35-of-86) but made just 3-of-16 from three-point range.
