After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Lakers 95-92. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
