(My Sportsbook) - The struggling Sacramento Kings resume a four-game road trip Saturday when they face the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse. The Kings dropped the opener of the trek in Auburn Hills on Friday when Rodney Stuckey scored a game-high 38 points and added seven assists, as the Detroit Pistons held on for a 98-92 victory over Sacramento. Brad Miller had 25 points and 16 boards to pace the Kings, who have lost nine straight on the road and seven of their last eight overall. John Salmons had 21 points and Kevin Martin 20 in the loss. The Kings haven't tasted victory away from ARCO Arena since topping New Orleans 105-96 on November 19. The team hasn't dropped 10 straight road encounters since the 1997-98 season. Sacramento, which is a dismal 2-14 as the visitor this season, will also face New Jersey and Chicago on its trip. The Pacers, meanwhile, won a thriller in New York on Friday when Jarrett Jack had a season-high 29 points -- and hit the game-winning shot with 0.9 seconds left -- as Indiana edged the Knicks, 105-103, at Madison Square Garden. Danny Granger added 22 points and five assists for the Pacers, who snapped a four-game slide. Troy Murphy chipped in 15 points and 18 boards in the win. Sacramento has won three of the past four games in the series and has won two straight and five of six in Indy. The Pacers have lost four straight at Conseco Fieldhouse and are just 6-9 there this season. |
