After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Knicks 87-81. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately; Knicks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
