After Action Report

The Suns handled the Cavaliers 96-85. Suns' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
