After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Lakers handled the Suns 112-95. Lakers' offense had its way with the Suns. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
