"It took coach Mark Jackson well into the third quarter Tuesday to find an advantage to exploit. And when he found it, he rode it to a 93-90 victory over NorCal rival Sacramento.

The advantage was the second unit, known as the Dub-stitutes: guard Nate Robinson, swingmen Brandon Rush and Klay Thompson, forward Dominic McGuire and big man Ekpe Udoh. Those five turned a nervously close game into a much-needed Warriors victory.

Golden State's bench outscored Sacramento's 43-21. In the fourth quarter, Golden State's backups outscored the Kings' starters 25-11."
