After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Knicks buried the Suns 120-98. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
