After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns outlasted the Warriors 122-107. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in. The Warriors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
