Spurs Pull Away, Beat Kings

David Robinson scored 33 points and grabbed and 18 rebounds, and the San Antonio Spurs used a late 9-0 run Sunday night to down the Sacramento Kings 103-97.

The victory was the fourth straight for San Antonio, which had double-doubles from its entire front line. Rookie Tim Duncan had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Will Perdue had 10 points and 14 boards.

Sacramento, which had its eight-game homecourt winning streak snapped, pulled into a 90-90 tie on Mitch Richmond's 3-point goal with 2:53 remaining. The Spurs scored the next nine points, including a tiebreaking 3-pointer by Chuck Person and a three-point play by Robinson.

Richmond scored 27 of his 31 points in the second half, including 10 in a row in one fourth-quarter stretch for the Kings. Corliss Williamson added 21 points before fouling out.
