<div align="center">@ Wednesday, Feb 2 2005 Arena In Oakland - Oakland, CA Projected Starters C- Brad Miller PF- Chris Webber (Songaila?) SF- Matt Barnes (Peja?) SG- Cat Mobley PG- Mike Bibby C- Adonal Foyle PF- Eduardo Najera SF- Mike Dunleavy SG- J-Rich PG- Derek Fisher -Injury Report- SACRAMENTO <ul> [*] Bobby Jackson Wrist I-L. [*] Maurice Evans Groin I-L. [*] Predrag Stojakovic Back Questionable [/list] GOLDEN STATE <ul> [*] Speedy Claxton (right thigh contusion) day-to-day [*] Clifford Robinson (lower back stiffness) day-to-day [*] Troy Murphy (hairline fracture left thumb) questionable [*] Andris Biedrins (strained left hamstring) IL [*] Zarko Cabarkapa (left knee tendinitis) IL [/list] -Summary- This is the second meeting of the Kings and Warriors this year. The first time they met was at Arco, but the Kings failed to win the home game. The story of that game was J-Rich in the second half. Richardson fueled the victory, hitting shot after shot in the second half when the Warriors outscored the Kings 62-48. Richardson scored all 26 of his points in the second half, helping the struggling Golden State Warriors rally for a 98-94 victory over the Kings. The Kings need to control Richardson if they want to win. Jason Richardson has scored 29 or more points in four of his last seven games. He also has a history of big games against the Kings, including a 40 point game in 2002. Another key to this game is the play of Sacramento's bench. Last meeting, the Kings only played a total of two bench players with totals of 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists. That is unacceptable, and it should be a different story this time. -Prediction- The Kings will be looking for revenge, and they'll be out of the gates early and often. The Warriors, missing 3 of their starters, will have no answer for them, but will make up some points in garbage time. SAC 107 GSW 89</div>
whoa.. what a game that was. went down to the last 2 seconds with Brad Miller winning it with free throws. Miller far outshadowed everyone in this game with 38pts on 63% shooting, 17rbs, 4asts and 4stls. This game was won by Miller pure and simple. yes there was help from other players (all five starters were in double figures in scoring) but Miller was just plain dominant in this game in the 4th.
Cant believe Mobley caught the back spasm bug.Really good to see Evans back.Its tough to comprehend how the Kings could make up for the loss of 3 starters production wise.Just glad its a W.

I was impressed with Matt Barnes's performance as well, even though he suffered a poor shooting night (3-12), he was able to recognize he could still contribute for his team in other facets of the game. It's a very awe-inspiring quality for such a young player to possess, the ability to understand and adjust when your shooting touch is not in tack, than continute to contribute while working around that problem, very impressive. 10 Points, 7 Assists, and 8 Rebounds. Solid Performance Matty B!!!
Again, anytime you can win a game with 3/5 of your starting line up out...its a great win Brad just dominated...im so proud of him!
