After Action Report
The Suns buried the Lakers 120-91. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
