What tipped it

  • Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
