After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Spurs survived the Suns 135-133. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
