CLEVELAND Sacramento isn't Gund-shy



Dajuan Wagner scored 20 points for the Cavaliers.
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Already the NBA's best home team, Sacramento wants to be Kings of the road, too.
Peja Stojakovic scored 27 of his 37 points in the second half Thursday night as Sacramento opened its longest road trip of the season with a 95-89 win over the undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Kings will play their next five away from Arco Arena, where they have dominated in recent years and are a league-best 21-3 this season.
Now, they want to make their out-of-town record (9-7) just as impressive.
Drawbacks
"It's tough to travel, make a long trip in the cold weather," said Kings guard Mike Bibby, who had a key assist in the final minute. "But that's what you do in the NBA. You have to play through those things."
Stojakovic, on a tear of late, scored 20 in the third quarter and the Kings held off the Cavs, who played their second straight game without injured rookie LeBron James but nearly rallied from a nine-point deficit in the final minutes.
Brad Miller had a key putback off a missed free throw with 57.5 seconds remaining as Sacramento became the first Western Conference team to reach 30 wins.
Vlade Divac had 13 points, nine rebounds and nine assists and Miller had 15 rebounds for the Kings, who have won 10 of 12 overall and are 13-2 against Eastern Conference teams.
Dajuan Wagner had 20 points, and Carlos Boozer 15 with 11 rebounds for the Cavs.
Cleveland only dressed nine players and was again without James, who still hasn't been able to run on his sprained right ankle.
The Cavs were also short-handed because Jeff McInnis and Ruben Boumtje Boumtje, acquired Wednesday in a trade with Portland for Darius Miles, hadn't had their physicals yet.
"We're wounded, but we showed we can play with them," Cavs guard Kevin Ollie said. "We showed a lot of heart."
Cleveland was within 89-87 with 1:13 remaining when Wagner made two free throws.
Divac missed a free throw -- he clanked his last four from the line -- with 57.5 seconds to go, but Miller made the play of the game by smartly sneaking behind Boozer on the baseline to grab the rebound and score while being fouled.
He missed the free throw, but had already done his damage.
"I can't give all my tricks away," Miller said with a laugh of his veteran move. "I fooled them with my blazing quickness."
Final points
Boozer hit two foul shots to make it 91-89, but Bibby penetrated in the lane and made a nice pass underneath to Divac, whose layup sealed it with 24.7 seconds to play.
"We did a good job down the stretch moving the ball," Stojakovic said. "We played with the game on the line."
Ollie, who is losing his starting job to McInnis, had nine points, nine assists and matched a career high with 10 rebounds for Cleveland.
