The Sacramento Kings (28-54) ended the 2014 season by losing to the Phoenix Suns (48-34) on a warm Wednesday night Sleep Train Arena. The Kings took a lead into the fourth quarter but they were unable to hold on and lost 104-99.
The Kings were led by rookie Ben McLemore who scored 31 points and chipped in five rebounds and five assists. DeMarcus Cousins did not play, Isaiah Thomas and Rudy Gay played limited minutes.
The Suns head into the playoffs behind reserve guard and rookie Archie Goodwin who scored 29 points.
The Kings will look toward the draft and free agency to add to a roster that has potential for 2015.
