After Action Report
The Suns stunned the Spurs 115-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. 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.
