After Action Report

The Warriors snuck past the Suns 116-112 in overtime. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Warriors lately; Warriors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
