After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Suns 115-86. Every possession went the Lakers way. Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
