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.
