DISCLOSURE: The following recap has been written by Bill Walton*.

Chuck Hayes, what a game. Despite not playing at all in the first half, he was ever ready to take up arms and serve his team, a Minuteman of basketball. He changed the game for Sacramento in a way that I'm not sure can be quantified in earthly terms. His presence was otherworldly, his specter likely still haunting the Suns hours after the final bell.

No doubt the Kings were inspired by the presence of the greatest fans in the world, who waded into enemy territory to join their team on the front lines of battle. Kings fans are indomitable, great champions one and all.

Should you wish to acknowledge worthy and stout adversaries, head on over to the fantastic Phoenix Suns blog Bright Side of the Sun, the best blog about the Suns known to man, woman, child and porcupine. NASA knows less about the Sun than these fine folks.
