 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - On this night, the Sacramento Kings needed Ron Artest — bum knees, questionable attitude and all. Shareef Abdur-Rahim wasn't even in the building because of the flu and Kevin Martin played through his sickness and spent part of the fourth quarter throwing up on the bench.
Artest, rumored to be on the trading block, provided a spark in his return to the Sacramento lineup, and Mike Bibby had 21 points and six assists in the Kings' 101-76 victory over the hapless Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.
"Ron hustled," said Martin, who last kept a meal down after Christmas breakfast. "He's a hustle player."
