After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns snuck past the Lakers 119-116. Suns' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- 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.
