After Action Report

The Suns edged the Raptors 115-109. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
