After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Suns 112-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
