After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Wizards 140-94. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
