UPDATE: The Phoenix Suns have triumphed over the Sacramento Kings with a final score of 112-100, remaining undefeated in the NBA Cup West Group A. This victory, secured on November 26, 2025, at the Golden 1 Center, sets the stage for an electrifying showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday at 7:30 p.m.
With this win, the Suns improve to 3-0 in group play, showcasing their strength as they prepare to face the defending champions, who also boast a 3-0 record in West Group A after defeating Minnesota 113-105 earlier today. The upcoming matchup carries significant implications: a victory against the Thunder would not only secure the top spot in West Group A for Phoenix but also grant them home-court advantage in the upcoming NBA Cup quarterfinals.
In a thrilling game against Sacramento, the Suns built an impressive lead of 25 points in the first half. Key contributions came from Mark Williams and Collin Gillespie, each scoring 21 points, while Devin Booker added 19 points. Despite a late surge from the Kings, who narrowed the gap to just eight points, the Suns responded decisively with an 8-0 run to seal their victory.
The Kings, now at 5-14 for the season, struggled without key players, including Domantas Sabonis and Dennis Schroder. Sacramento’s efforts were led by Keegan Murray and Russell Westbrook, each scoring 19 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Suns’ offensive firepower.
Looking ahead, the stakes are high for Phoenix. If they can topple the Thunder, they will clinch the group and secure a favorable position in the tournament. However, even a loss could keep their playoff hopes alive, contingent on the outcome of the Friday night game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the L.A. Clippers.
