After Action Report
The Suns edged the Warriors 98-89. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
