After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns outlasted the Clippers 106-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Clippers lately. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 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.
