After Action Report
The Suns survived the Clippers 118-117. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
