Listed down below are the highs and lows of tonight’s game that pertain to the players wearing purple and white.

HIGHS

Buddy Hield: After struggling Sunday afternoon against the Houston Rockets, Buddy Hield bounced back tonight in great fashion. For the game, Buddy scored a whopping 30 points while shooting 60% from the floor, a new career-high for the rookie in points scored in a game.

Ty Lawson: There’s a good argument that Ty Lawson was the best player on the court tonight. Receiving his second consecutive start, Lawson was able to contribute to multiple facets of the game as he recorded 22 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists for the night, his first triple-double of the season.

Balanced Scoring: The Kings had players like Lawson and Hield that highlighted tonight’s game, but the Kings did an excellent job in getting everyone involved in the scoring production. Out of the nine players that hit the hardwood for Sacramento tonight, eight of them were able to score in the double-digits.

LOWS

Tyler Ulis: The Kings did a fairly good job on defense against the Suns, but they had little solutions to guarding Tyler Ulis. Ulis was everywhere tonight for the Suns’ offense. He continues to show that he belongs in the NBA as he recorded 27 points and 6 assists while shooting 40% from the floor tonight.
