After Action Report
The Suns held off the Wizards 113-106. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
