After Action Report
The Kings handled the Suns 92-80. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately; Kings' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
