Webber, Bibby Spark Kings of the Road

The Sacramento Kings proved they can win on the road too.

Chris Webber scored 31 points and Mike Bibby scored 18 of his 22 points in the second half to lead the Kings over the Toronto Raptors, 116-113, on Sunday.

Webber, playing with a dislocated right index finger, had 15 rebounds.

Sacramento improved to 47-18, 17-15 away from Arco Arena with a 4-1 record on this trip.

“We’re relying too much on our home games but a road trip like this helps,” Bibby said.

Vince Carter, who finished with 22 points, fouled out with 3:07 remaining for the Raptors, who have lost 16 of 17 games. Toronto has lost nine in a row at home.

Webber said it didn’t matter that Carter fouled out.

“I think a lot of guys in the league are more worried about Dell Curry coming off a screen than Vince Carter,” Webber said. “I was more worried about Dell Curry at that point.”

Toronto Coach Lenny Wilkens said it could be too late to make the playoffs.

“It could be, but we’re not going to give up,” Wilkens said. “It doesn’t look good, but why quit?”

Doug Christie had 18 points for the Kings, including a three-point play that gave Sacramento a 113-109 lead with 25.3 seconds left.

Toronto’s Morris Peterson missed a three-point attempt and Webber followed with two free throws, giving Sacramento a 115-109 lead with 20.7 seconds left.

“I never believed we weren’t a road team,” Sacramento Coach Rick Adelman said. “We have beaten some good teams on the road like Seattle and San Antonio. Our problem has been that we haven’t been consistent on the road.”

Bibby had 11 points in the third quarter as Sacramento took a three-point lead into the fourth.
