The Stockton Kings trailed by seven (50-43), with 3:48 remaining, but quickly pulled even behind baskets from Nelson Jr. and Levin. Stockton briefly took a one-point lead in the closing seconds before South Bay center Timme converted a jump hook to give the Lakers a 56-55 edge at halftime.<\/p>\n
The Lakers came out strong in the third, surging to a nine-point lead at the 6:20 mark and prompting a Kings timeout. South Bay pushed the lead to 11, but Stockton answered with a 10\u20130 run to cut the deficit to one. The Lakers steadied themselves and entered the fourth quarter up 78\u201374.<\/p>\n
South Bay opened the fourth with a nine-point lead (89-80), but the Kings rallied behind Dennis, who hit his fifth and sixth three-pointers to erase the deficit and tie the game late. After trading triples down the stretch, Levin\u2019s one-handed putback dunk with 20 seconds left put the Kings ahead for good. A defensive stop and two free throws sealed a 101\u201397 win.<\/p>\n
