The game was marked by Phoenix's exceptional performance from beyond the arc and their ability to capitalize on turnovers.

Suns' Sharpshooting Makes the Difference

The Suns showcased their shooting prowess, converting 24 out of 43 three-point attempts, translating to an impressive 56 percent success rate. 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.
