After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Clippers rolled past the Suns 140-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Clippers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Clippers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
