This was a sloppy start to the season, as both teams were trying different lineups and such, especially the Suns.
The Suns struggled to make shots — similar to last season — but played much more spirited defense and kept themselves in it despite shooting just under 40% from the floor and under 20% on threes.
They just came up a little short. Yogi Ferrell made 6 of 9 threes and the Kings made enough shots to win.
He came out like gangbusters, tallying 12 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks in his first 13 minutes of play.
