After Action Report
The Suns survived the Trail Blazers 97-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Suns; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Trail Blazers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
