After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Suns 98-94. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
