After Action Report

The Suns squeaked past the Kings 117-113. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
