After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Spurs 107-95. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
