After Action Report
The Suns took care of the Lakers 119-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
