After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Nets 104-85. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; shots just aren't falling for the Nets lately. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
