After Action Report

The Lakers held off the Suns 103-96. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
