After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers snuck past the Suns 105-101. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
