After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns took care of the Clippers 115-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Clippers are in a full-on tailspin; the Clippers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
