After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns took care of the Lakers 116-103. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
