After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Suns 104-101. Lakers' offense had its way with the Suns. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
