After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Nets 118-89. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
