After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Suns 118-109. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
