After Action Report
The Suns shocked the Clippers 112-108. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
