After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns handled the Spurs 108-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
