After Action Report
The Suns took care of the Cavaliers 89-71. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. The Suns couldn't shake the cold spell; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
