TL;DR Summary

The Phoenix Suns made a historic fourth-quarter comeback against the Sacramento Kings by embracing a small-ball lineup, featuring five elite shooters, to outscore the Kings 23-5 in the final 311 seconds of the game. Coach Frank Vogel's decision to insert Eric Gordon for Josh Okogie swung the game, and the Suns became just the second team in the past 25 years to overcome a deficit of at least 20 points in the final eight minutes of the fourth quarter. The lineup's defensive upside, combined with an obscene amount of shooting, proved to be a game-changer, showcasing the Suns' potential in smaller sample sizes and turning them into their best selves.
