The Kings only benefit from losing if your obsession is the NBA draft lottery and the hope that maybe they'll land a top-three draft pick.
The players on the roster who will be around next season benefit more from figuring out how to win games rather than accepting defeat as part of the development process.
The Kings won for the fourth time in eight games, overcoming a rough fourth quarter and escaping with a 123-119 overtime victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday at Golden 1 Center.
The Kings have the NBA's sixth-worst record at 22-47 and have been eliminated from playoff contention.
