After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Suns 116-114. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
