After Action Report
The Suns survived the Trail Blazers 113-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it

- Trail Blazers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
