After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns ran roughshod over the Spurs 119-89. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
