After Action Report
The Suns survived the Trail Blazers 107-104. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
