After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Suns pulled away from the Bobcats 119-109. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Bobcats are in a full-on tailspin; the Bobcats pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
