After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Bulls blew the doors off the Suns 137-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bulls cashed in. Bulls' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.

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.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
