After Action Report

The Suns edged the Kings 109-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
