After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings held off the Suns 109-100. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 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. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
