After Action Report
The Suns snuck past the Nuggets 108-106. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
