The Suns spent some of Wednesday’s scheduled practice time watching video of their 114-112 preseason victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

What did coach Earl Watson see?

“We made strides in the right direction,” Watson said. “In the first half (when the Suns trailed by double digits) we played with pace but with excitement as well. In the second half, I thought we came out and we executed our game plan, got deeper into our game plan and settled down. You saw the game start to change. I thought the way we finished the game was the exact way we wanted to come into the game.
