Yea that game for as forgettable as it was, I'm happy for Landry, Torrey solid play continues and Jae was on the bench most of the 2nd half standing n cheering so I would figure we avoided any drama with his ankle

Kings played their asses off and got a lot of help from the refs but we pulled it out. The depth really saved us tonight with injuries and foul trouble. We had to win this game largely with our backups and 3rd stringers, especially down the stretch.

Hoping Shamet can keep the scoring going because we really need that threat off the bench. I liked what Holiday gave us tonight driving to the basket and playing some pretty good defense. Craig's still huge for us and came up with some big rebounds late in the game. I'm guessing Crowder will be out for a month after the ankle turn so Craig needs to keep it up.

Mikal played 50 minutes tonight! Next game is Wednesday so hopefully he can rest up.

Can't remember the last time I rage quit watching a game, stuck with the Kings broadcast and the refs were just too much. Glad the Suns won.
Jones and Vogel gotta go.

Good win. Terrible game.

3 Suns with 6 fouls? Yeah right.

Great, gutsy come from behind win while the Kings were playing on all cylinders and we had to battle their 6th man, the refs as well. Huge Shamet 3 after Book fouled out and Suns were down 2! He shot it really well tonight. Amazing 3rd quarter for Book and big shot near the end of regulation.

I'd like to see at least 5 more. I wouldn't mind yet another double digit winning streak though.

I'd be happy with a split of the last 10 games. Some challenging games on the road down the stretch.

Honestly didn’t even look at the schedule…just like the idea of 65 wins.

But, looking at the schedule we have a real tough 5 game stretch coming up. A road back to back against Minny and Denver…two teams fighting over the last non play-in spot. A home game against Philly is next and then back on the road against GS and Memphis. GS should be pretty hobbled though with Curry out.

The final 5 aren’t as tough: OKC, LAL, LAC, UTA, and SAC. Should win all of those, but all are dangerous as we’ll have that 1 seed locked up and probably the franchise record for a few of those games, so not sure we’ll even play our starters in all of them.

So they finished the game without Paul, Booker, Ayton, Crowder, Johnson, McGee and Payne. That's 7 of their top 9 this year in minutes played - and they still won.

They were down to Bridges, Craig, Holiday, Biyombo, Shamet, Payton and Wainright.

Unbelievable.

That dunk by Shamet with 2 minutes left was pretty awesome.

Shamet is 0.1 seconds away from catching that ball with his left foot still out of bounds. So glad he picked up his heel when he did.
