After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Heat ran roughshod over the Suns 129-84. Heat's positional fit overwhelmed the Suns rotation. Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
