After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Kings 92-86. Suns' offense had its way with the Kings. The Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
