After Action Report
The Suns downed the Spurs 96-80. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Suns; Spurs' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
