After Action Report

In New York, the Suns took care of the Knicks 124-111. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Suns bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
