After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns shocked the Trail Blazers 125-100. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
