After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Knicks 102-97. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
