After Action Report
The Suns took care of the Trail Blazers 103-91. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
