After Action Report
The Kings took care of the Suns 109-98. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
