After Action Report

The Lakers buried the Suns 113-93. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Suns are in a full-on tailspin. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
