After Action Report
The Suns rolled past the Lakers 123-101. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
