After Action Report
The Suns survived the Lakers 107-102. Every possession went the Suns way. The Suns answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
