After Action Report

In a track meet, the Suns squeaked past the Timberwolves 121-119. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
