Unfortunately, fans cannot make plans around a Golden 1 Center home playoff game quite yet. The Sacramento Kings lost their penultimate game of the 2024-25 season, falling to the Los Angeles Clippers 100-101 as a DeMar DeRozan missed a last-second shot that went without a whistle.

The Kings went up by as many as nine when Lyles made a 3-pointer to give them a 40-31 lead with 7:42 to play in the second period. The Clippers came back to cut the deficit to two on a pair of free throws by Powell and led 50-49 after Leonard sank a 3-pointer with 1.0 second remaining in the first half.
