SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Sacramento Kings lost to the San Antonio Spurs, failing to clinch their division title Sunday.
The Kings had a chance at clinching the Pacific Division title for the first time since 2003. They needed to beat the San Antonio Spurs, otherwise they'd have to rely on a loss by the Phoenix Suns to clinch Sunday night.
However, San Antonio had other plans, breaking their six-game skid. Sunday's game was the fourth meeting this season between the two teams.
