After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns ran roughshod over the Lakers 130-109. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
