After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Suns 108-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
