After Action Report
The Suns fended off the Nuggets 102-96. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
