After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Suns fended off the Cavaliers 119-111. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
