Kevin Durant on whether he’s comfortable with the win despite how bad it was thru 3 quarters:
“Hell yeah. It’s always about the process with me. The end result is definitely cool, but I care more about how we go about things.”
Said Suns hated how they played but didn’t give up: pic.twitter.com/shPgp5Nksj – 12:27 AM

“We stayed in it. Stayed in the fight mentally.”
Frank Vogel admitted Suns were “getting our butts kicked,” but felt they stuck with it and ultimately turned the game with small lineup of Kevin Durant at the 5 with Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen. #Suns pic.twitter.com/8yngI9tWZb – 12:25 AM

Entering tonight, the five-man lineup of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen had played five total minutes all season.
That was the lineup Frank Vogel inserted with 5:11 remaining down 112-96. It outscored the Kings 23-5 to win the game. – 12:06 AM

5. Malik Monk set the table for his teammates early, running the offense to perfection early. Monk hit the Suns for 13 points, 8 assists and a charge call that will earn him praise from Mike Brown. Like Fox, he forced the action late and finished with 5 turnovers. – 11:34 PM

4. The Mediterranean Diet. Sasha Vezenkov got it cooking in this one. He moves without the ball as well as any Kings player and routinely showed up at the rim for a bunny. Sasha finished with 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting off the bench. Impressive. – 11:34 PM

1. De’Aaron Fox looked extra motivated to erase the bad taste left by the loss in Milwaukee, but he’s probably going to feel the same way after this one. Fox dropped 33 points on 12-for-24 shooting, including 6 makes from 3, but his foul on KD with 1.6 remaining was a backbreaker – 11:34 PM

Disaster in Phoenix. The Kings led by as many as 22 points, but fell apart in the fourth quarter and allowed the Suns to escape with a 119-117 come from behind win. Give the Suns a little credit, but this was a meltdown by Sacramento. Here are six quick thoughts: – 11:34 PM

That Suns’ starting 5 Net Rating is about to take a hit to the jaw after tonight. Defense giving up easy looks at the rim and from 3, and even when they’ve been sound on that end, Sacramento is perfectly comfortable now. Not much resistance out there – 10:32 PM
