After Action Report
The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Suns 128-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
