After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns squeaked past the Trail Blazers 124-120. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
