After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings outlasted the Suns 114-105. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
