After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Knicks 101-98. Suns' offense had its way with the Knicks. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
