After Action Report

The Suns pulled away from the Pacers 103-93. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
