After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Suns rolled past the Celtics 128-103. Suns controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
