The Kings rule

The Kings went on a 23-7 run in the fourth quarter while scoring 33 points in the final 12 minutes to beat the Spurs at home for the first time in more than two years.

Brad Miller added 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Kings, who took advantage of the absence of Tim Duncan from the San Antonio lineup.

Peja Stojakovic chipped in with 18 points for the winners, while Doug Christie made several key defensive plays in the second half.

Manu Ginobili scored 16 points to lead the Spurs, while

Rasho Nesterovic added 14 points and 13 rebounds. San Antonio had won three straight games at Sacramento, including one earlier this season. The Kings have lost just five home games this year.

LeBron James scored 26 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers upset the Indiana Pacers 107-104 in Cleveland, solidifying the Cavs' hold on a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

In Detroit, the Pistons held their opponents to under 70 points for a fifth straight game, an NBA record, as Detroit downed the Philadelphia 76ers 85-69. Allen Iverson did not play for the 76ers after being told he would not start but would come off the bench.
