After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Suns 112-109. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
