OAKLAND, Calif. - Baron Davis had 36 points, a career-high 18 assists and eight rebounds during another sensational performance that led the Golden State Warriors to their fourth straight win, a 117-105 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night.

Davis had 11 assists in the first quarter alone, falling just shy of the single-quarter franchise record while staking Golden State to a lead it never relinquished in the fourth game of a seven-game homestand.

Mickael Pietrus added 26 points for the Warriors, who followed up a 40-point first quarter by making more than 57 percent of their shots in this Northern California rivalry game.

Davis surpassed his previous career high of 17 assists by setting up Jason Richardson's 3-pointer with 3:24 to play, ending Sacramento's last hope of a rally in its fifth loss in seven trips to Oakland. Richardson finished with 16 points, and Monta Ellis had 17.

Kevin Martin scored 26 points and Ron Artest had 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Kings, whose four-game winning streak was snapped by 1-for-17 shooting on 3-pointers. Sacramento never caught up to the Warriors and their exceptional shooting percentage, dropping to 1-3 on the road.
