Lee had nine points, three assists, one rebound, one steal in Phoenix Sun's preseason final loss to Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.
Then Lee stayed in for the entire fourth quarter. The Suns were down 83-76 to start the final period, and Lee made several key plays to spark their 13-5 run, including an assist to backup big Bismack Biyombo, hit two free throws to take a 90-88 at 7:46 left to play.
In addition, Lee caused a charge foul on Kings big Neemias Queta with 46 seconds left, which led to Luwawu-Cabarrot's lone 3 made to cut the lead to 105-104, which became the final score. Suns coach Monty Williams said in the postgame Lee's performance within that short time after meeting him earlier this day reflects the third-year player's moxie.
Williams added that Lee's journey to follow his dream to stay in the NBA with little notice to come in and play with his team after just one practice makes tougher than expected.
