After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Trail Blazers snuck past the Suns 114-109. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
