With the Sacramento Kings playing in the Talking Stick Resort Arena tonight, what must they do in order to earn the road win against the Phoenix Suns?

Tonight’s game for the Sacramento Kings will be the second part of a back-to-back. Just yesterday night, the purple and white were in their luxurious Golden 1 Center where they hosted the Orlando Magic. To the Kings’ fortune, they ended up winning the game in comfortable fashion by a score of 111-95, improving their record to 20-20.

As for the Suns, it has not been pretty for them. Prior to the season, expectations were high as many viewed them as a potential playoff candidate. But instead, their most recent loss to the Charlotte Hornets puts them at a record of 9-32 which is the worst record in the Western Conference, and second worst in the league.

Even though this game is on the road, this is still a matchup that the Kings need to win. With the Western Conference so stacked, there are not many times where the purple and white get to face off against a clearly lesser opponent, but that is the case for them tonight.

Honestly, the Kings do not have to play their best to win this game, although that would be ideal. But there are aspects of the game that they must focus on in order to leave the arena successful.
