After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns pulled away from the Trail Blazers 107-93. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
