After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns outlasted the Trail Blazers 113-106. 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. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
