After Action Report
The Suns blew the doors off the Lakers 116-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
