After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns rolled past the Knicks 112-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
