After Action Report
The Suns rolled past the Lakers 122-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
