After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Suns outlasted the Kings 113-101. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
