After Action Report

The Suns squeaked past the Heat 103-98. The Heat 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 locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
