After Action Report

The Suns demolished the Warriors 142-117. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
