After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns buried the Kings 131-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
