After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Knicks 124-97. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Knicks' 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. Never a doubt in this one.
