After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Suns squeaked past the Kings 132-129 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
