After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 130-102. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
