After Action Report

The Suns survived the Warriors 109-106. Suns controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Suns. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
