After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Suns 114-87. Every possession went the Lakers way. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns couldn't shake the cold spell. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
