DENVER (AP) — Kenneth Faried scored a season-high 30 points and the Denver Nuggets spoiled George Karl’s return to Denver, beating the Sacramento Kings 122-111 on Sunday.

Wilson Chandler had 21 points and nine rebounds for the Nuggets in their home finale. At 19-22, Denver had a losing record at Pepsi Center for the first time since 2002-03.

That was two years before Karl arrived and turned around the struggling franchise. He won 423 games in nine seasons on the Denver bench, but was fired after losing in the first round of the 2013 playoffs. The Nuggets won a franchise-record 57 games that season and he was the NBA Coach of the Year, but his team failed to win a postseason series for the eighth time in nine years.

Omri Casspi had 22 points to lead the Kings. Sacramento has lost three straight and eight of nine.
