After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings held off the Suns 109-101. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
