After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Suns blew the doors off the Cavaliers 122-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
