After Action Report

The Raptors stunned the Suns 112-111. The breakneck pace played right into Raptors' hands. The Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. An upset for the books.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
