After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns buried the Lakers 127-104. Suns' offense had its way with the Lakers. Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
