After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Lakers 116-108. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
