After Action Report
In New York, the Suns survived the Knicks 101-99. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
