After Action Report
The Suns survived the Heat 97-93. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
