After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns snuck past the Nuggets 100-99. Suns torched the Nuggets on the offensive end. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
