After Action Report

The Kings handled the Suns 106-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
