After Action Report
The Suns snuck past the Bobcats 100-96. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Suns steamroller is in full effect right now; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Suns · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
