After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns fended off the Pacers 114-105 in overtime. Suns' offense had its way with the Pacers. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
