After Action Report

The Kings snuck past the Suns 103-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. 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.
