After Action Report
The Suns demolished the Lakers 106-80. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
