After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns pulled away from the Kings 132-118. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
