Chris Webber scored a season-high 37points and had to know how Bob Sura felt after a costly mistakethat helped the Sacramento Kings win in Cleveland for the firsttime in 17 years with a 111-106 victory over the Cavaliers. Webber made 14-of-22 shots from the floor, all seven of his freethrows and also led Sacramento with 10 rebounds. Jason Williamshad 18 points and a career-high 18 assists as the Kings won inCleveland for the first time since March 18, 1984. "I wasn't aware of it until before the game when someone told meabout it," said Sacramento coach Rick Adelman, who was in hisfirst year on the sidelines as assistant with Portland in 1984."Our team has broke a few of these streaks in the last twoyears. I didn't really say anything to them until the end of thegame. I was surprised it was that long." After Jon Barry hit two free throws to give the Kings a 106-103with 25 seconds to go, Sura had trouble finding an open man onthe inbounds pass and called time. Cleveland did not have anytimeouts remaining and Barry hit the technical free throw. "That's our team, when we get rolling we get rolling," Webbersaid. "We have so much fun playing together that when we getdown everybody steps up and tries to take over. Clevelandplayed a great game and we were lucky to get this one." Barry, who had all eight of his points in the fourth quarter,was fouled after the technical and again made the pair to pushthe lead to 109-103 with 23 seconds remaining. Webber committed an identical mistake when he was at theUniversity of Michigan in the closing seconds of a loss to NorthCarolina in the 1993 national championship game.

Kemp made 9-of-18 shots but hit just 3-of-6 free throws. He hada chance to tie the game, but made only one foul shot andCleveland trailed 104-103 with 27 seconds left. "We had a chance to win again tonight," Kemp said. "I missedsome key free throws down the stretch. It's frustrating but I'llbe OK. The free throws are something I take pride in.Regardless of what happened out here in the game, I missed onefree throw down the stretch. That's going to bother me a bit." Sura scored 14 points in the first quarter to help the Cavaliersgrab a 39-31 lead. Cleveland's biggest lead was 50-33 whenHenderson's dunk capped an 8-0 spurt with 8:43 left in thesecond quarter. Sacramento closed the period with an 11-4surge, keyed by a pair of 3-pointer from Williams, and trailed61-55 at the break. "He's a young player that's going to be very good," Adelman saidof Williams. "Jason made some huge plays and had 18 assists.Webber was incredible. He just carried us the whole game. Thiswas a really good road win."
