After Action Report

The Suns snuck past the Kings 104-103. Every possession went the Suns way. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
