After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Suns rolled past the Clippers 134-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
