After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Suns 122-120. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. Spurs' stars took over and bent the game to their will; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
