After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Lakers squeaked past the Suns 102-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
