After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Raptors stunned the Suns 116-100. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Raptors; shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
