BOX SCORE

The Kings began the Texas Three-Step with a crushing overtime loss in San Antonio on Friday night.

Sacramento (8-13) built a 98-89 lead with 1:50 remaining in regulation, but the Spurs (9-14) rallied to force the extra period and pulled out a stunning 105-104 win at AT&T Center.

The Kings' modest three-game winning streak against the Spurs came to an end with the loss.

Sacramento's road trip continues with games in Dallas on Sunday and Houston on Monday.

Here are the three takeaways from the Kings' loss in San Antonio:

Unable to close

After blowing a seven-point lead late in the fourth quarter, the Kings went on a 9-0 run to take a 98-89 advantage. But San Antonio closed the fourth quarter on an 11-2 run to force overtime.

In overtime, the Kings had a chance to win in the final seconds, but Buddy Hield and Trevor Ariza each missed two shots on the final possession.

No stopping Holmes

Richaun Holmes arguably has been the Kings' best player the last few games and he continued his strong play against the Spurs.

The center, in his first year with the Kings, finished with 13 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in 45 minutes.

Over his last three games, Holmes is averaging 20.3 points and 11 rebounds. He's looking like the steal of the offseason for Sacramento.

The emergence of Holmes is a welcome sight considering how ineffective Dewayne Dedmon has been. On Friday, the high-priced center played just eight minutes and did not score.

Bogi returns

Bogdan Bogdanovic missed Wednesday's game in Portland due to a knee contusion, but he returned in San Antonio.

The reserve guard finished with nine points on 4-of-12 shooting in 21 minutes.

Without De'Aaron Fox and Marvin Bagley, the Kings desperately need Bogdanovic's scoring off the bench. He didn't provide much Friday, but just having him back in the rotation is a good sign for Sacramento.
