Suns rest four starters, end season with loss to Kings
Shamet scored a season-high 27 points, hitting 5-of-12 from 3, in starting for All-Star Devin Booker, but rookie Davion Mitchell sealed the game for Sacramento by making four straight free throws after Shamet's 3.
“We just tried to end on a good note," Mitchell said."We didn’t try to go out there and throw the game just because it’s our last game of the season. We just tried to go out there and play hard and end the season on a good note.” "I just thought, No. 1, we played hard, we played unselfishly," Kings interim head coach Alvin Gentry said."It’s a nothing game for those guys but for us, just the idea of being able to play the name, the Phoenix Suns, everyone knows they’re the best team in the league. They’ve proven that with the way they’ve played and the record that they have. Now obviously they didn’t play a lot of their guys but that’s okay. For us, it’s learning, it’s baby steps.
"We did beat them here when they had all their guys," said Gentry as Sacramento topped Phoenix, 110-107, on a Harrison Barnes 3 at the buzzer Oct. 27 when Luke Walton was the head coach.
