After Action Report
The Kings buried the Suns 133-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
