After Action Report

The Suns ran roughshod over the Kings 120-79. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
