After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Suns snuck past the Lakers 118-117. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
