Divac had 21 points and 19 rebounds to help pick up the slack for Stojakovic, leading the Sacramento Kings to a 102-93 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, who fell apart down the stretch.

Sharing Divac's Yugoslavian roots, Stojakovic was the Kings' offense in the first half, scoring 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting. Sacramento held a 56-54 lead at the break.

Stojakovic went cold in the second half as he scored just four points on 1-of-7 shooting. But the 35-year-old Divac more than picked things up.

Divac scored 12 points after intermission and dominated the boards. His jumper with 5:24 remaining gave the Kings a 91-88 lead and started a 13-5 surge to close the contest.

"I realized that I needed to step it up," Divac said. "We weren't really doing well on rebounds. They didn't double me in the low post and I saw an opportunity to score."

A team loaded with offensive talent that includes Ray Allen and Sam Cassell, the Bucks went scoreless for the final 2:17 as they suffered their second straight loss.

A 3-pointer by Toni Kukoc, who scored 12 of his 21 points in the second half, gave Milwaukee its final lead at 84-81 with 9:20 remaining.

Keon Clark made a hook shot in the lane and Doug Christie drilled a 3-pointer to give the Kings the lead before Kukoc made two free throws to tie it.

After Jim Jackson and Tim Thomas traded baskets, Stojakovic sank 1-of-2 from the line with 5:56 to play, giving the Kings the lead for good.

Divac made a jumper 31 seconds later for a 91-88 lead. The 7-1 veteran did most of his work around the basket and hit 9-of-16 shots.

Jason Caffey scored inside for the Bucks, but Bobby Jackson had a fast-break layup and a 3-pointer, giving the Kings a 96-90 lead with 3:28 to go.

"It came down to the Kings making threes when they had to," Bucks coach George Karl said. "Bobby Jackson made a big three and they made a three in transition before that, and we missed our open looks."

Jackson finished with 11 points to lead the Sacramento bench, which was outscored by Milwaukee's reserves, 39-20.

The Bucks scored the next three points, but after Cassell made 1-of-2 from the line with 2:17 left, they missed their final three shots and committed a turnover.

"The Kings made a few more shots at the end than we did," Kukoc said. "I think it was a very good game to play and to watch, but as I said, they made a couple of more shots at the end."

Allen scored 17 points, just three in the second half, and Redd added 16 for the Bucks, who shot 38 percent (35-of-93) and held a 49-42 rebounding advantage. Milwaukee had 19 offensive boards.

Allen made 5-of-9 shots in the first half but just 1-of-6 in the second.

"My shot, I didn't make anything," he said. "You just miss. I didn't shoot a lot in the second half like I wanted to. There was a lot of times I was open, but my teammates just didn't find me."

The Bucks were able to grab the edge on the boards, despite missing Anthony Mason, who was sidelined with strep throat.

Mike Bibby added 21 points for Sacramento, which shot 52 percent (41-of-79).
