After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns rolled past the Lakers 130-91. Suns controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
