After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns ran roughshod over the Nuggets 124-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
