After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns outlasted the Spurs 110-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
