After Action Report

The Suns snuck past the Grizzlies 127-123. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
