After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns snuck past the Nets 103-100. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
