After Action Report

The Suns survived the Clippers 117-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
