After Action Report
The Spurs held off the Suns 120-114. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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.
