After Action Report
The Suns survived the Trail Blazers 116-112 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
