After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns pulled away from the Lakers 106-94. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
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 · 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.
