After Action Report
The Warriors squeaked past the Suns 106-104 in overtime. The Warriors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
