After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns demolished the Clippers 145-121. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Clippers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
