Tonight, the 6-10 power forward nearly gave one away to the Golden State Warriors before redeeming himself in overtime. Webber and the Kings embarrassed the Warriors from start to finish in a 115-84 home triumph on Wednesday but needed a considerably greater effort to put their feisty opponents away tonight.
Every team is good and any team can make a comeback.
Larry Hughes' jumper with 41 seconds left shaved the deficit to 97-95 before Webber committed a traveling violation on the Kings' ensuing trip. In the extra session, Webber hit six free throws, a jumper and had an emphatic slam off a beautiful feed from Jason Williams with 42 seconds to play that gave Sacramento a 109-103 lead. The Warriors called timeout and Webber, who spent most of the fourth quarter bickering with officials and sitting on the bench, gave a fist pump and began celebrating with teammates as he skipped to the sideline. They played hard, the energy was there. I don't come here trying to do anything special, I just want to win.
