After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Lakers 101-79. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
