After Action Report
The Suns took care of the Knicks 113-94. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
