In Phoenix, the Suns fended off the Spurs 131-122. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
