After Action Report
The Lakers stunned the Suns 102-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
