After Action Report
The Lakers stunned the Suns 107-101. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. An upset for the books.
