After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Suns rolled past the Kings 117-89. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
