After Action Report

The Suns ran roughshod over the Hawks 127-91. Suns torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
