After Action Report

The Suns outlasted the Nuggets 93-86. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
