After Action Report
The Suns outlasted the Lakers 101-91. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Lakers are in a full-on tailspin. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
