After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns survived the Nuggets 120-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Suns; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
