After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns ran roughshod over the Spurs 120-99. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
