After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns demolished the Raptors 120-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
