Yogi Ferrell entered the game to start the fourth quarter. About a minute and a half later, Harry Giles III got the call. Then came Ben McLemore and Skal Labissiere with 8:54 to go.
The Kings went down 27 less than a minute later, but the reserves weren’t interested in just letting the game go.
Frank Mason III also checked in as Sacramento went on a 27-3 run and got to within three before the Clippers held on for a 127-118 victory Wednesday night at Staples Center.
“I’m really proud of that group,” Kings coach Dave Joerger said.
