After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns knocked off the Pacers 119-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns are in a full-on tailspin; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
