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.
