After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Suns 97-86. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
