End of the first half.
Grant, Jerry and I all agree... when you try for a steal and miss, your opponent gets a free trip in the paint and an easy dunk. The Kings let that happen a few times, and that's pretty much why the Suns are leading the game. That AND you don't need to go for the show-time dunk. We lost at least two baskets because of that...
ET says Kings not getting back in transition AND they let the Suns get past them. He also said the offense looked good in spurts but they're going to have to be more consistent.
