The Kings come into the Meadowlands Monday with playoff aspirations, something few thought possible in the B.A. [Before Artest] era. Since Truwarier arrived, Sacramento is 10-7, and only 2 1/2 games out of the playoffs. Artest had his best game Sunday with 30 points on 13-for-19 shooting, but Sacramento hardly looked like a defensive force giving up 117 points in a loss to Washington. Also on hand: almost-Net Shareef Abdur-Rahim, who is averaging only 9.0 ppg and 4.8 rpg over the last 10.
