After Action Report
The Suns stunned the Clippers 122-118. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
