After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Lakers 106-101. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
