After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Spurs handled the Suns 119-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. Spurs' outside barrage was a constant threat; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
