After Action Report
The Suns pulled away from the Lakers 122-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Suns bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
