After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Suns 126-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
