After Action Report
In Utah, the Suns rolled past the Jazz 120-99. Suns torched the Jazz on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; the Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
