After Action Report
The Suns buried the Clippers 123-103. Suns' offense had its way with the Clippers. 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. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
