After Action Report

The Suns ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 127-99. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns are in a full-on tailspin; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
