After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns handled the Spurs 137-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
