After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Lakers 111-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Suns; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
