After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Suns 111-75. The better team simply showed up tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
