After Action Report
The Suns held off the Lakers 127-119. Suns controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
