After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns held off the Trail Blazers 111-105. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
