After Action Report

The Suns ran roughshod over the Kings 120-84. Suns torched the Kings on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
