After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns survived the Lakers 129-128. Suns' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Suns carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
