After Action Report
The Trail Blazers handled the Suns 99-89. Trail Blazers torched the Suns on the offensive end. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
