After Action Report

The Suns squeaked past the Lakers 125-121. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
