Sacramento made nearly 58 percent of its shots and hit six 3-pointers while soundly beating the Suns on the boards and in transition with a dazzling display.

The blowout continued in the third quarter, with Martin scoring nine points. Sacramento took its first 30-point lead on Thomas' dunk to open the fourth quarter, then coasted to its third victory in four games.

Nash scored fewer than 10 points for just the third time this season. Kurt Thomas played 24 minutes, but went scoreless for just the second time all year.

Stojakovic missed his fourth straight game with a protruding disc in his lower back, while Abdur-Rahim missed his 10th straight with a broken jaw and Wells sat out his 12th consecutive contest with a torn muscle in his groin.
