After Action Report
The Suns blew the doors off the Nuggets 119-90. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
