After Action Report
The Suns downed the Trail Blazers 125-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
