After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Clippers held off the Suns 96-90. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
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.
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
