After Action Report
The Suns rolled past the Heat 114-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Suns ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
