After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Kings 105-97. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
