The Kings with Keegan Murray will kick off the third quarter. Keegan Murray first with a floating jump shot and Huerter with a stepback. Murray continued what was his career-best game with a dunk and a 3-pointer.

Hector is found in the corner and scores a 3-pointer. Bradley Beal gets and converts his two free throws.

De'Aaron Fox finds slowly spaces and pulls off a spin-move layup. Kevin Durant is not in the best shape of his life, and manages to make a 3-pointer. Keegan Murray's progress is visible in this match, both in attack and defense.

Durant is caught in a pincer movement by Keegan and Barnes. Hector tries to anticipate the trajectory of passes in case Durant gets stuck. He may leave Ayton alone, and Durant makes the right choice, but it's better to take a layup than a 3-pointer.

Bradley Beal dunked on Gordon's assist, and Bates-Diop made a layup. The Kings lead 79-75.

Barnes will give breath with a 3-point that came at the right time as the Suns began to find a good rhythm.

De'Aaron Fox hit a free throw, and it's time for Keegan to get back in the news. A stepback that gives headaches to Suns fans, who came to cheer on their team on the brink. Durant will score, but Murray is too strong tonight.

After two free throws, the Kings are ahead by 8 points, 89-81. Bates-Diop will make a driving layup, and Durant will earn two free throws.

We must calm all this down, and who will do it? Murray with a 3-point stepback late in the quarter. And Bol Bol preferred Ayton much of the game and scored two runs that allowed the Suns to be five points behind for the start of the final quarter.

The Suns have no choice. They will have to stop the offense of Sacramento but do the Kings agree with this idea? Not at all.

Alex Len scored a hook shot after an offensive rebound after a minute of missed shots by each team. And it's time for 4th quarter Fox to appear—a mid-range behind a screen initiated with Len.

Then a pull-up jump shot that hurts the Suns. Eric Gordon gets two free throws and makes them. Same for Vezenkov on the other side.

Fox attempted a layup but got a foul that caused Devin Booker to be expelled. In other words, Phoenix's already slim hopes are dashed. But the game continues.

A 3-pointer by Beal put the teams back 10 points apart, but Murray unofficially nailed the show.

First, with an abnormally effective pullup today and then a second shortly after. A layup by Barnes on an assist by Huerter.

Bradley Beal and Durant did what they could, but the damage was done. The Kings will win and advance to the Western Conference semifinals. A series masterfully directed by Hector and his family.

Sacramento Kings win 123-109 to reach a milestone.

Keegan Murray's 38 points sounded the death knell for the Suns.

Two years ago, they were the league's laughingstock. Now, they nipped a super team in the bud before they could even fight back properly. With a resounding 4-1, the Sacramento Kings eliminate the Phoenix Suns.

For the tipsters who predicted a Suns win in most cases, it's a big slap in the face the Kings gave them. There was never any debate except in Game 2. Never the Kings were worried by the Suns.

This is how the adventures of Hector and his family continue for the happiness of a minority. Because the Suns' star power is much better than the Kings'. But it is for the best because the opponent who presents himself is not just anyone.

A duel is brewing between two of the best centers in the league. Yes, Nikola Jokic and his Denver Nuggets show up to the Kings. Champions and favorites to their succession. The Nuggets finished second in the Western Conference behind the Clippers, but this team is dangerous in every way.

Jokic is still strong, and he finished 3rd in the MVP rankings. Their core was not impacted during free agency. Jokic and Murray will likely end their careers in Denver. The Jokic-Murray duo is the best in the NBA.

Jokic and Hector are two of the most effective attacking players in history. They are the only two players with a true shooting of 70% with more than 20 points on average. Hector finished the season with the highest true shooting in history, with 73.3%, with an average of 24.5 points.

Jokic finished with a true shooting of 70.1% last season, averaging 24.5 points. That's what the advanced stats say, an incredibly effective duel of players will collide. The Nuggets will face an opponent with all the weapons to beat them.

It's the only team in the Western Conference and one of the few in the league where Jokic doesn't necessarily have the advantage of position. The Nuggets will realize that throughout this series.
