After Action Report

The Suns blew the doors off the Kings 126-86. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; Kings' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.

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.
