After Action Report
The Lakers downed the Suns 95-85. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Suns. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
