NEW ORLEANS (AP) — John Salmons scored 29 points and Bobby Jackson had all eight of his points in the final 5:10 to help the injury-depleted Sacramento Kings surprise the New Orleans Hornets 105-96 on Wednesday night.Jackson hit a 3-pointer to give the Kings the lead for good at 90-88. He followed with a baseline jumper and a steal that led to Salmons’ layup, then finished off the Hornets with another 3-pointer that made it 99-91 with 3:08 left.Sacramento played without leading scorer Kevin Martin, who missed his sixth consecutive game because of a sprained ankle, and starting forward Mikki Moore. The Kings had been 1-5 away from home, losing four of those games by 15 points or more, and were playing their second game on the road in two nights.David West scored 22 points, and Chris Paul added 20 points and 15 assists for New Orleans. The Hornets, coming off three days off, fell to .500 (5-5) for the first time since the end of the 2006-07 season.In the first few minutes, New Orleans looked as if it would have an easy time. Paul sized up center Brad Miller on a switch, then drove right by him for an uncontested layup as the Hornets raced to a 9-2 lead, forcing the Kings to take a timeout.The rest of the night played out much differently. Sacramento hit 54.7 percent of its shots and got a career-high 15 points from rookie Donte Greene, while Salmons finished three points off his career best. All five Kings’ starters scored in double figures.Ahead 77-76 at the end of the third quarter, the Kings withstood an 8-0 Hornets run to start the fourth. Salmons scored six points in a row to lead an immediate response, coming up with a steal and layup and then converting a 3-point play to put Sacramento ahead 85-84.Jackson, who played for New Orleans in 2006-07 and the first half of last season before being traded to Houston, took over from there.—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s Sports Staff at [email protected]
