B4 THE WORLD, Coos Bay, Ore. Friday, February 28, 2003 Sports Sacramento has Mavericks' number again 1 rebounds to lead the Mavs, who went to overtime for the second time in three games after none in the first 55. The Kings won their fifth straight and seventh in eight games. Lakers 95, Pistons 85 At Los Angeles, Shaquille O'Neal had 35 points and 14 rebounds and Kobe Bryant added 30 points as the Lakers won their sixth straight. The three-time defending champion Lakers (32-25) have won 13 of 15 games to move a season-high seven games over .500 and within one game of sixth-place Utah in the Western Conference.

The Pistons (37-21) have lost a season-high five straight to fall a half-game behind Eastern Conference-leading New Jersey. Corliss Williamson led the Pistons with 19 points. Wizards 100, Rockets 98, OT At Washington, Michael Jordan scored 10 of his 35 points in overtime after Washington blew a 24-point second-half lead. Jerry Stackhouse added 28 points for the Wizards. Cuttino Mobley scored 24 points for the Rockets.

By Jaime Aron AP Sports Writer DALLAS A running 3-pointer that banks in. An airball that turns into the winning shot. An overtime victory in a game they hadn't led since midway through the fourth quarter. Apparently, the Sacramento Kings have an amazing combination of luck and skill when they play the Dallas Mavericks. Keon Clark caught an errant shot by Mike Bibby, stepped back and swished an 8-footer with 0.4 seconds left as Sacramento beat Dallas 126-124 in overtime Thursday night.

The Kings are 3-0 this season against the NBA-leading Mavericks. "What are you going to do? This was crazy," Dallas' Steve Nash said. "Our confidence is still good against this team. They were just very lucky." Sacramento has beaten Dallas six straight times counting three in last season's playoffs. "We always play good against them," said Peja Stojakovic, who led the Kings with 36 points.

"Probably during the course of the playoffs, we will meet them. It could be a completely different story. But it's always good to beat them." The Mavericks beat the Kings in three of four regular-season meetings last season, then lost in five games in the playoffs. So Dallas knows what happens in February doesn't mean much in May. Still, the ways Sacramento is winning has to be demoralizing.

The Kings won the first one by 29, with Chris Webber getting a triple-double, Webber and super sub Bobby Jackson missed the next game, in Dallas, but Clark dunked a missed 3-pointer with 16.5 seconds left to give Sacramento a one-point win. Now this game, in which Dallas failed to make a field goal in the last 2:22 of regulation and all five minutes of overtime. The Mavs' final eight points all came on free throws, six in overtime. "We know we can beat these guys," said Michael Finley, who had 31 points, 21 in the first half. "We just have to remain confident, no matter how many times they've won." Finley hit a pair of free throws with 1:57 left that put Dallas up 118-111.

It was the game's widest margin since the Mavericks led by nine midway through the third quarter. Sacramento rallied behind layups by Vlade Divac and Doug Christie, followed by Jackson using the glass for a tying 3-pointer in transition with 12.5 seconds to go. "I definitely knew I was going to shoot it as soon as I got it," Jackson said. "It was the right bank at the right time." The Mavericks led three times in overtime, but never by more than two. Clark blocked a shot by Dirk Nowitzki with a little over a minute left, and rebounded a miss by Nowitzki with 16 seconds left.

"We just kept being aggressive," Jackson said. "That's when we're at our best." The Mavs missed two buzzer-beaters that could' ve won it: A 12-foot turnaround by Nash in regulation and a wild 3-pointer by Finley in overtime. "We've got to get over the hump against this team," Dallas' Raef LaFrentz said. "When it comes down to it, they're just a little bit better." Nowitzki had 36 points and 13 V' AP Photo Sacramento guard Keon Clark goes up for the winning basket in overtime against Dallas Thursday. Woods marches on "Now you can think about your call, not how long it is." -ft VI in fX i A I ll i is I I en in the first round.

Just as tantalizing is Woods-Mickelson, a distinct possibility. Mickelson, a former U.S. Amateur champion and strong Ryder player, has never advanced beyond the third round. He next plays Jerry Kelly, who advanced with a 2-and-l victory over Mike Weir. "That's a hurdle for me," Mickelson said.

"I want to focus on that match and see if I can get past that." Don't forget about Darren Clarke. He won in 2000 by whipping Woods in the final, and the burly, cigar-smoking Clarke is looking good through two rounds after a 7-and-6 rout of Davis Love III. Still, Woods could be tough to beat. "If Tiger hasn't made a bogey that's very impressive," Mickelson said. "That means you have to make a birdie to win the hole, and that's very difficult out here." Equally impressive was the way Woods beat Choi.

With rain pelting his hat, he hit 5-iron to 3 feet and 2 inches on consecutive holes and was never challenged the rest of the way. "When you're playing in conditions like this, you don't want to ever give your opponent a hole," Woods said. "You know if you don't make any mistakes, you're more than likely going to win the match. That's what I tried to do the last couple of days." In other matches Thursday: Jay Haas, at 49 the oldest player in the Accenture Match Play Championship, disposed of Shigeki Maruyama. Next up is Nick Price, 46, a third-round pairing between two guys who are a combined 95 years old.

Scott Hoch, 47, usually complains about cold and rainy weather. He was all smiles after easily beatr ing Padraig Harrington, 3 and 2. Leaney had the easiest time, going 4-up after four holes all of them bogeys by Justin Leonard. He won, 6 and 5. CARLSBAD, Calif.

(AP) Tiger Woods has been so efficient in the Match Play Championship that he has yet to play the 18th hole at La Costa. He has not made a bogey over the first two rounds and he can't find any faults in his game. Woods has been around long enough to know what that means. Nothing. After posting five birdies in a 4-and-3 victory over K.J.

Choi on Thursday, Woods recalled one of his trips to St. Andrews to put everything in perspective. He played in the Dunhill Cup in 1998, in which three-man teams from each country compete in stroke play over 1 8 holes. "I was 16 under for my three matches," Woods said. "And my last match I shot even par and lost.

(John) Daly never shot a round at par or better, and he won every single match. It's just the nature of match play." Next up for Woods is Stephen iLeaney of Australia, the 48th seed. That, too, means nothing. "I know he's got a hell of a swing," Woods said. "And he's had a lot of success in the past year.

So, the way he's playing now It's going to be a great match." Thursday's secpnd round was full of both a couple of blowouts, a couple of matches that went to the 18th hole, and a couple of wild finishes. Defending champion Kevin Sutherland made a par on the 18th hole by playing down the first fairway, but still beat Justin Rose. Phil Mickelson hit a tee shot into the hazard on No. 14, but it struck a rock and came out into the rough. He wound up holing a 35-foot putt from off the green for par on his way to a 3-and-2 victory over Brad Faxon.

David Toms was on the ropes against Chris Riley until he holed a 90-foot chip for birdie on the 18th hole by using his 3-wood.
