After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Suns 116-89. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
