After Action Report
The Suns knocked off the Nuggets 116-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
