After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Nuggets ran roughshod over the Suns 103-77. Nuggets torched the Suns on the offensive end. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Suns are in a full-on tailspin. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
