After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Suns 118-105. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Suns. The Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Suns are in a full-on tailspin. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
