After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns ran roughshod over the Pacers 135-113. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
