After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Lakers 115-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. 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.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
