In Phoenix, the Suns took care of the Kings 118-100. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Suns; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
