After Action Report

The Suns outlasted the Nets 92-77. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
