After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Nuggets 115-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Suns. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
