After Action Report
The Suns buried the Pacers 117-96. Suns controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
