After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns demolished the Raptors 120-94. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
