After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns rolled past the Hornets 127-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
