After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers survived the Suns 123-121. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
