After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Magic 141-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · 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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
