SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- For the Sacramento Kings and the Phoenix Suns, the learning curve is a topic never far away from any conversation regarding the state of their teams.
Some of it has been painful, too, especially recently.
"We just seemed to be a step slower," Phoenix coach Jay Triano said after the Suns' turnover-filled, 104-101 home loss the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.
"I'm tired of saying it's just a learning experience," Sacramento guard Buddy Hield said after the Kings' similarly lackluster and sloppy 102-87 home loss to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
