After Action Report

The Kings edged the Suns 105-99. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
