After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Suns 100-98. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
