After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Cavaliers 109-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
