The Sacramento Kings defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, 98 - 97, at Staples Center on Sunday afternoon. The Kings (28 - 45) played like the team with playoff seeding at stake in the fourth quarter after entering the period trailing 76 - 65 and then falling behind by as much as 89 - 71 with 7:58 remaining. The Clippers (44 - 31), perhaps feeling the lingering effects of playing five games over the course of the last week, could n't score between the 5:16 and 3:3 marks of the fourth period and ultimately saw Sacramento outscore them by a 33 - 21 tally in the final 12 minutes. Willie Cauley-Stein's basket after an offensive rebound with three seconds remaining gave the Kings the 98 - 97 lead that would prove to be the final margin of victory, and Chris Paul missed a would - be game - winning 21 - foot jumper at the buzzer to seal the upset win. Darren Collison led the way for the visitors with 19 points, four assists, a rebound and a steal. Buddy Hield continued his strong play with 15 points, seven rebounds, two assists and a steal. Anthony Tolliver matched Hield's scoring total while leading the bench and added three rebounds and a block. Georgios Papagiannis provided 12 points, four rebounds, four assists and two blocks in a reserve role as well. Cauley-Stein mustered a modest eight points overall but also hauled in 14 rebounds, dished out an assist and recorded a pair of steals and a block. Tyreke Evans also tallied eight points and complemented them with four boards and one assist. Ben McLemore was productive off the bench as well with eight points, two rebounds and two assists. DeAndre Jordan led the way for the Clippers with 20 points, 11 rebounds, one steal and one block. Paul poured in 17 points and added nine assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block. Blake Griffin matched Paul in the scoring department and also posted six rebounds, four assists and a steal. Austin Rivers drew the start at shooting guard and registered 10 points, nine boards and four assists. Jamal Crawford led the second unit with nine points, two assists and a rebound. The Kings head back home to tangle with the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night, while the Clippers remain home and await the Washington Wizards on Wednesday evening.
