Phil Johnson saw his team stay close for three quarters before falling apart in the final period and absorbing a 119-99 beating at the hands of the Phoenix Suns. It was the ninth straight loss for the Kings and dropped their record for the season to 6-19. Golden State whipped Portland 119-89 in the only other NBA game. In the ABA, Kentucky beat Memphis 102-92 and Denver defeated Indiana 127-111. Johnson, who has been an assistant with Chicago, succeeds Draff Young who succeeded Bob Cousy.

Rookie Mike Banton scored 26, Charlie Scott 20 for the Suns. Nate Archibald 24, Jimmy Walker 21 for KC–Omaha.
