After Action Report
The Kings demolished the Suns 111-86. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
