After Action Report
The Suns edged the Knicks 116-107. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
