After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns rolled past the Nets 118-79. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
