After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns took care of the Heat 103-87. Every possession went the Suns way. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
