All of a sudden in a matter of seconds the lead was cut to 7, 98-91. Thanks to two big 3 point baskets by Donte Greene who finished the game with 24 points in all.
Omri Casspi who's from Israel, first to play in the NBA, starred early scoring 16 of his 18 points in the first half on Jewish Heritage night.
Rookie of the year candidate Tyreke Evans had a monster second half scoring 19 including 2 in overtime which sealed the deal in the closing seconds. He finished with 27 points and 10 rebounds.
In addition, Kevin Martin scored 9 of his 17 points in the extra session which put the Kings in position to win the game.
