After Action Report

The Knicks upended the Suns 99-92. Ugly basketball, but the Knicks did just enough. Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Suns' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • 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.
