After Action Report
The Suns edged the Pacers 103-96. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; Suns' stars took over and bent the game to their will. 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.
