After Action Report
The Suns shocked the Jazz 117-109. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
