This Day in Kings History: Kings Win First Playoff Series

Survivor was the hottest show on TV.

Destiny’s Child was at the top of the charts.

The Mummy Returns was conquering the box office.

The year was 2001, and on May 2, they made history.

Coming off a 104-96 win in Game 3 against the Phoenix Suns, the Sacramento Kings had a chance to clinch their first playoff series victory since the team moved to Northern California.

Peja Stojakovic couldn’t be stopped. He finished with a career playoff-high 37 points on 10-18 shooting to lead the game. Chris Webber finished with a double-double and Scot Pollard was a beast on the boards with 13 rebounds.
