After Action Report
The 76ers upended the Suns 99-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. 76ers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
