After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns ran roughshod over the Warriors 137-111. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
