After Action Report
The Suns buried the Pacers 115-94. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
