After Action Report

The Suns buried the Wizards 118-79. Every possession went the Suns way. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

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.
  • Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
