After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers survived the Suns 116-112. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
