After Action Report

In a track meet, the Suns handled the Clippers 138-124. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
