After Action Report
The Suns survived the Trail Blazers 105-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
