The Suns rolled past the Cavaliers 137-110. Suns' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
