After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the SuperSonics 122-117. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns are in a full-on tailspin; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
