After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings survived the Suns 112-111. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Suns ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
