After Action Report
The Suns blew the doors off the Clippers 105-85. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. The Clippers couldn't shake the cold spell; Clippers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
