SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 21 (Ticker) -- Returning from the All-Star break, the Golden State Warriors apparently decided to take another night off.

The Warriors looked listless as they had their lowest scoring output of the season in a 102-77 setback to the Sacramento Kings, who have won nine straight home games.

Brad Miller scored 17 points and Mike Bibby added 16 for the Kings (25-29), who leapfrogged the Warriors (24-29) for fourth place in the Pacific Division and improved to 6-3 with forward Ron Artest in the lineup.

"Every home game is crucial for us because over half (the remaining games) are on the road," Miller said. "We're trying to make a push and get up in (the playoff race)."

Sacramento hit 53 percent (40-of-76) for the game, bouncing back from a woeful 37 percent (32-of-87) effort at Memphis before the All-Star break.

Jason Richardson and Troy Murphy hit consecutive baskets early in the first period to give Golden State its only lead, 4-2, with 9:34 on the clock. However, the Warriors made just one more basket over the next nine minutes before Richardson closed the quarter with a jumper and a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to 24-17.

"At practice (Monday) we could barely get 94 feet we were so tired," Warriors coach Mike Montgomery said. "At one point (tonight) we were 3-for-24 from the floor. They weren't threes or wild shots. We just couldn't finish and make shots and it affected everything we did."

Sacramento began to pull away in the second period. After Derek Fisher drew the Warriors within 28-21 with 9:17 left in the half, Miller made jumper to ignite an 18-6 spurt.

"I thought after the first five minutes we played pretty well," Kings coach Rick Adelman said. "As the first half went on we started to be more active defensively and got into a good rhythm offensively."

Artest, Bibby and rookie Francisco Garcia each hit 3-pointers during the burst before Kenny Thomas capped it with a pair of free throws that made it 46-27 with 5:07 remaining.

The Kings pushed their lead to 54-38 at the break and broke open the game in the third, when Bibby scored 11 points to build a 73-50 advantage.

"We played together, we played a good defensive game," Bibby said. "We made them take tough shots and we were making our shots."

Sacramento led by as many as 35 in the fourth quarter and never was threatened by Golden State, which had won the previous three meetings and five of six in the series.

"We were not aggressively pushing them to do anything on offense," Warriors center Adonal Foyle said. "We were giving them their primary shots all night. You have to force them to take shots that are tough."

Mickael Pietrus scored 16 points and Richardson added 15 for the Warriors, who shot 32 percent (29-of-91) from the field en route to their fourth loss in six games.

Sacramento forward Shareef Abdur-Rahim scored 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting off the bench in one of his best games since returning from a broken jaw January 19.

"I feel like I felt before the injury," Abdur-Rahim said. "The break helped me. I put some of my weight back on and I think I have my legs back under me."
