The Phoenix Suns, missing key players (Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, and Grayson Allen), couldn’t withstand the firepower of the Sacramento Kings in a lopsided defeat 127-104. Despite flashes of hope—like a strong start from rookie Ryan Dunn and a brief third-quarter surge—the Suns fell apart as De’Aaron Fox and Kevin Huerter led the charge.
Fox was unstoppable, orchestrating a relentless Kings offense that outscored the Suns 32-24 in the third quarter and extended their lead to 16 points midway through the fourth. While the Suns fought hard early, they faltered late, shooting just 4-for-11 to start the final quarter and missing 14 of 17 shots during a crucial stretch in the third quarter.
