After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns stunned the Nets 97-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Suns' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. 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.
  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
