After Action Report

The Lakers squeaked past the Suns 108-106. Lakers' offense had its way with the Suns. The Suns are in a full-on tailspin; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
