After Action Report

The Lakers survived the Suns 118-116 in overtime. The better team simply showed up tonight. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed.

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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
