After Action Report
The Suns handled the Lakers 133-123. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
