After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Suns shocked the Clippers 116-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
