After Action Report

The Suns edged the SuperSonics 105-97. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • 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.
