After Action Report

The Lakers downed the Suns 122-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
