Kings End Five-Game Losing Skid, Hold Off Suns 113-108
The Sacramento Kings, like a lot of young teams, are going through growing pains. By growing pains, along with learning to develop chemistry, there are the occasional bouts of immaturity.

The second homecoming, of sorts, for Amare Stoudemire took place at Madison Square Garden on Monday night as the Phoenix Suns came to New York City to take on the New York Knicks. This game would promise to be a high-octane contest where defense would be an afterthought. While Stoudemire didn’t disappoint (he scored a season-high 41 points), it [...]
