After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Suns 112-87. Lineup balance gave the Trail Blazers a clear synergy edge. The Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
