The Suns snuck past the Spurs 102-101. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; the Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
