Getting Inside

Old friends will reunite on Tuesday, with both sides downplaying all of it.
Chris Webber, the Kings franchise centerpiece for six seasons, will make a return to Arco Arena as a member of the Philadelphia 76ers, and he'll square off against the three players he was swapped for; Kenny Thomas, Corliss Williamson and Brian Skinner.
Beyond that, there's this matter of dealing with Allen Iverson, still one of the NBA's elite guards, the MVP of the All-Star game last season and the league's leading scorer yet again. He'll go against Mike Bibby, who is playing his best ball of the season, despite a nasty head cold that makes his voice sound gravelly and strained.
REPLAY: Mike Bibby continued to play as if he were as fit and healthy as can be, Kevin Martin continues to grow and Kenny Thomas continues to demonstrate that all he needs are some good, honest minutes.
Added up, the Kings ended a five-game losing streak at Arco by turning back the Boston Celtics 116-112 on Friday night and winning their second straight game overall. Boston hasn't beaten the Kings in Sacramento in 10 seasons.
Fresh off of his season-high 38-point outing in an upset of the first-place Clippers (with 10 assists), Bibby had 33 and 10 against Boston. Kevin Martin had season highs in points (22), rebounds (seven), steals (three) and minutes played (45), and Thomas had a season-high 29 points to go with a season-high-tying eight rebounds in his second start in place of Shareef Abdur-Rahim, who is out indefinitely with a broken jaw.
