After Action Report

The Suns snuck past the Grizzlies 116-111. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
