After Action Report
The Suns upended the Knicks 122-119. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns couldn't shake the cold spell; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. An upset for the books.
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.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
