After Action Report
The Suns blew the doors off the Spurs 113-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Suns' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
