After Action Report
The Suns rolled past the Wizards 114-89. Every possession went the Suns way. The Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
