After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns rolled past the Nuggets 116-83. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
