After Action Report
The Suns demolished the Warriors 157-137. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Warriors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
