After Action Report

The Lakers took care of the Suns 111-94. Lakers torched the Suns on the offensive end. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
