After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Suns 99-97. Every possession went the Lakers way. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
