Jan 25, 2000: Kings def. Hornets, 110-99
Nick Anderson offered more evidence Tuesday night that he's growing comfortable in his first year with the Sacramento Kings after 10 seasons in Orlando.
Anderson scored a season-high 29 points and the Kings kicked off their longest road trip in 13 years with a 110-99 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
"After being someplace else for so many years and then to move 3,000 miles, it's a big change, and I've been trying to get used to it, get a feel for everything," Anderson said. "It's been an adjustment for me, but I've been working hard."
Anderson, who came in averaging less than 10 points, made 11 of 16 field-goal attempts and all four free throws.

Though Brad Miller's teammates and coaches have begged him to shoot more, the Kings' center usually ignores their cajoling unless Chris Webber is out of the lineup.
Miller had a season-high 31 points and 12 rebounds while making 11 straight shots, and Sacramento rebounded from an embarrassing loss with a 113-93 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Tuesday night.
Miller thrived in the absence of Webber, who sat out with a sprained right ankle. The two-time All-Star made every shot he took during the final three quarters, finishing 14-for-18 while flawlessly filling Webber's playmaking role atop the offense.

Karl Malone said he wasn't big on the revenge factor. He was right.
Even on their home court, Malone's Utah Jazz were no match for the Sacramento Kings, who had seven players in double figures as they swept the home-and-home series with a 114-90 rout.

Peja Stojakovic scored 25 points and Chris Webber added 19 for the Kings, who shot 48 percent (39-of-81), including 10-of-17 from 3-point range.
"Every player on their team is a very good passer," Sloan said. "They know how to use screens, they know how to shoot the basketball, they know how to play together. They make the game look pretty easy."
Sacramento led by as many as 31 points as it won for the fourth straight time in the series. Overall, the Kings have won 14 of their last 15 games, improving the NBA's best record to 33-10.
