Kings Go 0 for 20 in Fourth and Lose

The Sacramento Kings did not make a field goal in the fourth quarter, allowing the Utah Jazz to rally for an 89-79 victory Friday night at Salt Lake City.

Andrei Kirilenko scored 14 of his 24 points in the quarter, when the Kings went 0 for 20 from the field and were outscored, 34-12. The last time the Kings failed to make a basket in a quarter was Feb. 4, 1987, against the Lakers. It last happened in the NBA on March 13, 2005, by the Detroit Pistons against the Jazz, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Kirilenko made all 12 of his free throws in the quarter and made 16 of 17 overall to go with his 11 rebounds. Milt Palacio, who started in place of injured Gordan Giricek, had 19 points, had four assists and four steals to lead the Jazz to its second straight win after losing five of six.

Detroit 87, Philadelphia 80 -- Richard Hamilton scored 30 points to lead the visiting Pistons. The 76ers played without Allen Iverson, who sat out for the fourth consecutive time. Iverson, who has a sprained left ankle and a bone bruise on his right ankle, was going to travel and try to play tonight at Cleveland, Coach Maurice Cheeks said.

Houston 100, Seattle 77 -- Tracy McGrady scored 36 points and Yao Ming had 24 plus 14 rebounds to lead the Rockets past the SuperSonics. Houston improved to 6-15 at home and won back-to-back home games for the first time this season.

Atlanta 96, Orlando 94 -- Joe Johnson made a jump shot with less than a second remaining at Atlanta, and the Hawks won three consecutive games for the first time since 2004. Johnson dribbled inside the three-point line and took the shot over Steve Francis with 0.7 of a second left.

Toronto 104, New York 90 -- Chris Bosh scored 29 points to help the Raptors beat the visiting Knicks, who have lost four in a row and 10 of their last 11. The Knicks cut the lead to 11 in the fourth quarter, but Morris Peterson made a three-point shot to give the Raptors a 102-85 lead with 2:28 left.

Portland 89, Minnesota 85 -- Steve Blake made two free throws with less than a second left to clinch it for the Trail Blazers at Portland. Rookie Jarret Jack’s layup with 1:05 left gave the Trail Blazers an 87-83 lead, but Blake lost the ball and Ricky Davis made a jump shot to make it 87-85 with 30 seconds left. Kevin Garnett then fouled Blake, whose free throws made it 89-85 with 0.3 of a second left.
