After Action Report

The Suns outlasted the Warriors 128-116. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
