SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 27 (Ticker) -- In the fourth quarter, the Los Angeles Clippers looked like the Los Angeles Lakers. But it still was not enough to defeat the Sacramento Kings.

Chris Webber scored 23 points and Peja Stojakovic 16 in less than three quarters as the Kings jumped out to an enormous lead before holding off the Clippers, 93-83, for their 12th victory in 13 games at Arco Arena.

"We won," Webber said. "We got a whole quarter with the second unit in, so I won't make a big deal out of this win."

Sacramento has won 12 of its last 13 games at Arco Arena, where it is a league-best 32-6 at home. It wasted no time in this one as it scored the game's first 11 points and led, 49-32, at halftime.

The Kings extended their advantage to 30 points late in the third quarter and took a 75-47 lead into the fourth period.

After Sacramento opened an 80-51 advantage on a reverse layup by Jim Jackson with 9:27 left, the Clippers stormed back against the Kings' reserves, climbing within 89-83 on a free throw by rookie Chris Wilcox with 30 seconds to play.

"We let them right back in the game," said Kings sixth man Bobby Jackson, who scored 13 points. "They also stepped up in the fourth quarter and made some shots. (But) it's embarrassing for us when we play like crap. I guess we just stopped playing."

But it was too little, too late for the Clippers, who lost their 10th straight visit to Sacramento since a 98-85 triumph on November 7, 1997.

"I hate to take any moral victories from this game because in the end it's still a loss," Clippers coach Dennis Johnson said.

"We tried to change our game a little bit in the second half," said rookie reserve Marko Jaric, who scored 10 points. "But by then, it was too big of a difference."

Wilcox scored a season-high 16 points and fellow reserve Melvin Ely added 12 and a career-high 12 rebounds for his first career double-double for the Clippers.

But Los Angeles received awful performances from stars Andre Miller and Lamar Odom. Miller contributed just four points on 2-of-12 shooting and Odom was held scoreless, missing all seven shots.

"The way how we played in the first quarter is the way we're likely to approach the game, and today we didn't come out with any energy at all, and we settled for a slow start," Odom said. "The game was over when it started."

The Kings shot just 29 percent in the fourth quarter to finish at 45 percent (38-of-84). They limited the Clippers to just 35 percent (35-of-100) despite allowing them to connect on 54 percent in the final 12 minutes.

"It was good that our second unit came out and played great, and I think that if we would have given them sort of help in the beginning, it could have been a better game," said Corey Maggette, the only Clippers starter in double figures with 14 points. "But we didn't, so that's that."

Sacramento, which won for the 10th time in 12 contests, saw its magic number to clinch its second straight Pacific Division title fall to four. Second-place Portland is 6 1/2 games back with 11 to play, while the Kings have 10 games remaining.

"We got the win, (but) I hope it was a lesson that the guys playing down the stretch have to learn," Kings coach Rick Adelman said. "Nothing's over until the game's over."

The Kings begin a season-high six-game eastern road trip at Chicago on Sunday.

"We won, that's the bottom line," said center Vlade Divac, who scored just four points in 22 minutes. "It's good that we are going on the road with a winning streak under our belt."

"The way we went out and played in the fourth quarter, we better not take that on the road," Bobby Jackson said.
