After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns blew the doors off the Kings 118-93. Suns' offense had its way with the Kings. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
