After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 120-96. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
