After Action Report
The Suns shocked the Trail Blazers 92-90. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
