After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Trail Blazers 126-110. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. 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. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
