After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Clippers 117-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
