After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Suns 119-115. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
