After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Wizards 97-95. Every possession went the Suns way. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
