After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns rolled past the Nuggets 119-99. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
