After Action Report

The Suns demolished the Nets 123-99. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
