After Action Report
The Suns rolled past the Trail Blazers 141-106. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; the Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
