After Action Report
The Suns shocked the Lakers 99-78. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Suns. The Suns couldn't shake the cold spell; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
