After Action Report

In Phoenix, the SuperSonics buried the Suns 116-87. SuperSonics torched the Suns on the offensive end. The SuperSonics pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the SuperSonics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
