After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Suns 105-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers are in a full-on tailspin; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
