After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Suns 97-93. Every possession went the Lakers way. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; Suns' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
