After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Lakers ran roughshod over the Suns 120-91. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
