After Action Report
The Suns buried the Lakers 125-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
