After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 128-106. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
