After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Trail Blazers 106-104. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in. The Suns bench chemistry carried them.
