After Action Report
The Suns shocked the Clippers 120-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Clippers. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
