After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings blew the doors off the Suns 118-94. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
