After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Lakers 112-95. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
