Rudy Gay coming up big late in a game reminded the Kings of what they once had, as well as what they need to develop.
The Kings often struggle to score, largely because most of this season veteran forward Zach Randolph was the only player who could generate his own offense in a pinch.
So for as well as the Kings played during most of their 98-85 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday at AT&T Center, when it mattered late, Sacramento didn't have that player who could make something happen on offense.
Randolph hasn't played since March 19, so a collection of youngsters were left to figure things out in the fourth quarter.
