After Action Report
The Suns took care of the Knicks 110-97. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
