After Action Report

The Bobcats outlasted the Suns 87-78. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bobcats. The Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss; Bobcats' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
