Russell Westbrook is HOOPING with the Sacramento Kings. Fadeaway - middy - swish🧺

Good pull. Thats a weird one

Phoenix had 18 offensive rebounds. Sacramento went 13/23 from the FT line. In a four-point game, that’s the difference right there.

Tough way for SAC to go down in G1, relinquishing a 20pt advantage. First half: 71-54 Kings Second half: 66-45 Suns As PHX started to knock shots down, SAC’s transition opportunities became few and far between. And it felt like their halfcourt offense became too iso heavy.

DeMar DeRozan, a career 84.2% FT shooter, went just 4/9 from the line tonight in Phoenix. The last time he missed 5+ FT attempts in a game was January 2022.

Shooting 13-for-23 from the free throw line in a four point loss is brutal. DeMar DeRozan, a career 84.2% shooter at the stripe hitting 4-of-9 is tough.

It was a tale of two halves for the Kings. 1st half SAC: 71 PHX: 54 2nd half SAC: 45 PHX: 66 After shooting 64% before the break, Sacramento went 36% from the field during the second half.

FINAL: Kings fall to the Suns, 120-116.        👑 Zach LaVine: 30 PTS, 2 REB   👑 DeMar DeRozan: 29 PTS, 9 AST      👑 Malik Monk: 19 PTS, 2 AST

Kings fall 120-116 to the Suns. Kings playing deep into their roster, got up 20 and outscored 66-45 in the second half. Phoenix with 18 offensive rebounds leading to 28 points. Zach LaVine 30 pts, 22 in the first half. Devin Booker 31

Russell Westbrook went OFF on his Kings debut 🔥

Kings-Suns Opening Night Postgame with Grant, Jerry & Ryno

Final: Suns 120, Kings 116 The Kings led by 20 in the first half before getting outscored 36-21 in the third quarter and 30-24 in the fourth. Tough way to start the season.

Not that its gonna matter but Kings should have 1 more point on the board

Tough one to start the season for the Kings. 1st half vs. 2nd half was Jekyll & Hyde. Phoenix completely dominated the offensive boards and benefited from second-chance points. Blown 20-point lead. 12/21 (57%) from the free-throw line. Onto Friday's home-opener vs. Utah.

I'm sorry, but this was an all-time bad FT from Dylan Cardwell. At least he made the second

The DeMar DeRozan-Dillon Brooks beef lives on

Malik deserves to close this one out for sure

Dillon Brooks is up to 22 points now, sinking 3 straight free throws to give the Suns a 113-110 ;ead with 1:03 to play. Timeout Kings

If Malik Monk can revert to his Sixth Man of the Year contender form... 19 PTS | 2 AST | 7/13 FG | 3/4 3PT | 26 MIN

Malik... 🫣🤯

13-4 Kings run and Kings tie the game at 110-110 with 1:10 to go.
