Seattle - Dallas 85-81

Predrag Drobnjak shoots over Adrian Griffin

Seattle, UNITED STATES, January 19 (AP) - Lewis had 19 points and 13 rebounds, hitting a turnaround jumper with 43.1 seconds remaining and two free throws with 10.3 seconds left to lead Seattle to a dramatic 85-81 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night.

The loss wrapped up a 1-3 road trip for the Mavericks, who have lost a season-high three straight after a 123-94 defeat in Sacramento and a 111-106 loss in Phoenix.

Predrag Peja Drobnjak scored 19 points in a rare reserve role for the Sonics, hitting 8-of-13 to break out of his three-game shooting slump. Yugoslav center had an outstanding game, coming off the bench behind Ansu Sesay, who started for the first time this season.

Brent Barry scored 13 and Gary Payton had 12 for Seattle.

Sonics coach Nate McMillan made the move after Drobnjak shot 6-for-24 in his previous three games, including an 0-for-8 effort Friday against Memphis.

"Peja had a phenomenal night shooting the ball,'' Barry said. ``He has been real frustrated, cursing in Yugoslavian in the last few games.''

LA Clippers - Sacramento Kings 112-107

Los Angeles, UNITED STATES, January 18 (AP) - Andre Miller made seven free throws in the final four minutes, including two with 35 seconds remaining to put Los Angeles ahead to stay, and the Clippers went on to beat the Sacramento Kings 112-107 on Saturday night.

Yugoslav forward Predrag Peja Stojakovic led the Kings, who lost for only the third time in 11 games, with 37 points on 16-of-22 shooting. Vlade Divac had 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Chris Webber had 22 points. Mike Bibby had just four points on 2-of-12 shooting, but did have 10 assists.
