After Action Report
The Suns survived the Jazz 97-94. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
