After Action Report

The Suns snuck past the Kings 97-96. Suns' offense had its way with the Kings. The Suns ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
