Webber scored 28 points - 20 in the second half - Tuesday night as the Sacramento Kings won their sixth straight, 91-85 over the tumbling Cleveland Cavaliers, who have dropped 11 in a row.

After missing six of his first seven shots, Webber made 10 of 12 as the Kings beat the Cavs for the second time this season.

"In the first half, I had open shots and they just didn't go down," said Webber, who wears a protective wrap on his right hand to protect a cracked knuckle. "In the second half, I tried to mix it up, sort of catch and shoot, take my time. I'm glad I put them down."

Bobby Jackson added 19 points and Gerald Wallace 15 for Sacramento, which held the Cavs to one field goal - a 3-pointer by Bimbo Coles - in the fourth quarter.

Cleveland scored 16 points in the fourth quarter, 13 on free throws.

But it wasn't all bad for Cleveland. The Cavs finally got to use rookie guard Dajuan Wagner, who finished with 17 points before fouling out of his NBA debut. Wagner had been sidelined since training camp, and was hospitalized last month with a bladder infection before undergoing surgery to have a blood clot removed.
