After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 119-77. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
