After Action Report

The Suns ran roughshod over the Hawks 122-68. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Suns' stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Suns · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
