After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Clippers outlasted the Suns 92-84. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Clippers. Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
