After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns blew the doors off the Cavaliers 119-93. Lineup balance gave the Suns a clear synergy edge. The Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
