HIGHLIGHTS: Vin Baker's block of a Vlade Divac shot that triggered a fast break, culminating with a Gary Payton layin and a 63-54 lead. ... Rashard Lewis blocking Hedo Turkoglu's shot and following it up by taking a pass from Brent Barry and dunking for a 76-63 lead.


LOWLIGHT: Called for traveling in the third quarter, Divac threw the ball off the glass in frustration.


HERE IT IS: In the first quarter, Peja Stojakovic heard it from one fan in the crowd: "Hey, Stojakovic, let's see what you've got!" The Kings forward proceeded to swish it from 18 feet.


INJURY REPORT: Vladimir Radmanovic, who sprained his ankle Dec. 11 against the Lakers, missed his third consecutive game but is expected to return tomorrow night. ... Center Calvin Booth missed his fourth game in a row with ankle tendinitis. He likely will not return until Dec. 27 for the Clippers game.


ANOTHER MILESTONE: Payton passed 200 blocks in his career.


MINOR INJURY: Baker suffered a cut above his left eye after Doug Christie barreled into him in the third quarter. Baker returned in the fourth.


HURTING KINGS: Besides playing without Chris Webber (ankle tendinitis), starting forward Scot Pollard did not play in the second half because of a bruised shin, and starting center Divac left in the fourth quarter with a sprained ankle.


DANCING GUY: Ben Simon, the overweight Seattleite who dances between the third and fourth quarters, received high-fives from Brent Price and Pollard.
