After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Suns shocked the Clippers 144-116. The tempo dragged the Clippers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
