After Action Report

The Suns squeaked past the Raptors 120-116. Suns torched the Raptors on the offensive end. Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
