After Action Report

The Clippers pulled away from the Suns 106-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Clippers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
