After Action Report

The Suns snuck past the Clippers 94-91. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
