After Action Report
The Suns snuck past the Pacers 119-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
