After Action Report
The Trail Blazers took care of the Suns 106-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
