After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns ran roughshod over the Nuggets 108-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.

- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
