After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Suns 124-93. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
