The Suns survived the Spurs 103-100. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
