After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Lakers 96-95. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
