After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Suns 108-102. Lakers torched the Suns on the offensive end. The Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
