After Action Report
The Suns survived the Spurs 120-117 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
