After Action Report

The Suns pulled away from the Jazz 112-97. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
