After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns edged the Pacers 123-115. Suns torched the Pacers on the offensive end. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
