After Action Report
The Suns snuck past the Wizards 102-98. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. The Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
