After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Lakers demolished the Suns 113-70. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
