After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Suns 111-106. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
