After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the Suns 112-84. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- 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.
