After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns blew the doors off the Nets 109-88. Suns torched the Nets on the offensive end. 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. Never a doubt in this one.
