Webber has learned

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It's nearly seven months later, and Chris Webber still feels the pain from the Western Conference finals.
At the same time, the Sacramento Kings' star is doing his best to learn from the experience.
"This was like a mid-season playoff game for us," Webber said after the Kings' 105-99 victory over the slumping three-time defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.
Webber had 25 points, 15 rebounds and six assists Wednesday night in the first game that counted between the bitter in-state rivals since the Lakers beat the Kings last June, winning the seventh and deciding game in overtime at Arco Arena.
That marked the third straight spring the Lakers eliminated the Kings en route to a title.
"We learned that we have to stick together no matter what, that a game is 48 minutes long, not 47 minutes, 30 seconds," Webber said. "Game 7 still hurts. They have those rings, we want to win a championship.
"If we were too excited about this, it would mean we thought we shouldn't have won."
Stojakovic stars
Peja Stojakovic equaled a season high with 26 points, Mike Bibby scored 14 points, and Bobby Jackson added 11 for the Kings (23-8), who won for the 11th time in 14 games.
The Kings learned after the game that Jackson, averaging 19.8 points, broke his left hand when Shaquille O'Neal knocked the ball out of his hands while he was driving to the basket with 4:25 left.
Jackson, who wore a splint afterward, was to be re-examined today in Sacramento.
"It's a bummer, man, but it's part of the game," he said. "We're so deep, we play so well, that's the good thing. We have been doing it all year."
Stumbling
The stumbling Lakers (11-19) have lost four of five, and are 8-10 since O'Neal returned after missing the season's first 12 games while recuperating from surgery on his right big toe.
O'Neal had 27 points, a season-high 17 rebounds and five assists, but shot just 8-of-19 and made 2-of-8 after halftime -- both after the outcome had been decided.
He didn't speak with reporters afterward.
Kobe Bryant also had 27 points for the Lakers along with 15 rebounds and six assists, but he made only 7 of 24 shots and went 2-for-12 in the second half.
"We're getting much better," Bryant said. "I think we played really well outside of that mental lapse we had in the third quarter.
The Lakers led by as many as 12 points before the Kings outscored them 17-2 to turn a 70-60 deficit into a 77-72 lead.
"We celebrated a little bit too early," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "For a team that's as qualified, we're not doing things that make basketball sense."
The Lakers came back to go ahead early in the final period, but baskets by Jackson and Webber triggered a 10-2 run that gave the Kings a 92-84 lead.
Bryant's 3-pointer and a jumper by Derek Fisher drew the Lakers within three points with 3 1/2 minutes to play, but that's as close as they would get.
The Lakers outrebounded Sacramento 61-42, but shot only 36.7 percent compared to 46.3 percent for the Kings.
