Suns' Sharpshooting Makes the Difference

This stellar three-point shooting was a key factor in their victory. Devin Booker and Kevin Durant led the charge for Phoenix, each scoring 22 points.

Kings Struggle Despite Efforts

They managed to shoot at a respectable rate of 49 percent from the field but were unable to match Phoenix's efficiency from three-point range, making only eight of their thirty-two attempts (25 percent). De'Aaron Fox led Sacramento with his performance but found little support in overcoming Phoenix’s defensive pressure and sharpshooting.
