After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Suns 100-99. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
