Stockton’s fourth-quarter surge was the decisive stretch. The Kings had trailed by two after the opening period and held a seven-point halftime cushion, then saw Valley pull within five through three quarters. In the final period, Stockton repeatedly answered Valley’s attempts to close. Mogbo’s perimeter shooting stretched the defense, and his late dunks sealed the outcome. Pedulla and Newton combined to keep the offense organized, while Lakhin and Levin provided interior resistance. Valley’s Timme remained productive throughout, but the Suns could not match Stockton’s finishing kick. The Kings’ 11 blocks and 17-of-19 free-throw shooting helped protect the lead in the closing minutes. Valley got late baskets from John Camden on a running 3-pointer and Zhuric Phelps on a running dunk, but Stockton had already built a comfortable margin.
