PLAYER OF THE GAME: Kings guard Beno Udrih made all four of his shots in the fourth quarter, including 3 three-pointers, to help bury the Bucks. He finished with 24 points on 9-of-13 shooting, including 6 of 7 from three-point range. "He understands who he is and what he does for us," Kings coach Reggie Theus said. "He was looking for his shot early in the game and it wasn't falling, but he just stayed with it."
PLAY OF THE GAME: A three-pointer by Udrih gave Sacramento a 96-87 lead with 2 minutes 28 seconds left and sealed the Bucks' fate. It was one of 5 three-pointers by the Kings in the fourth quarter.
STATISTICS SHEET: The Kings made their first seven shots and 11 of their first 12 in taking a 26-16 lead. Sacramento ended up shooting 66.7% in the first quarter and held a 28-26 lead. But the Kings then made 5 of 21 shots in the second quarter (23.8%) and trailed by one at halftime.
OFF THE BENCH: Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak started Charlie Bell in the second half in place of small forward Desmond Mason, who suffered a left-thumb sprain in the first half. Mason said after the game that the thumb was sore, but he wasn't sure how seriously it was injured.
