After Action Report
The Suns demolished the Lakers 132-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Suns. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
