After Action Report

The Suns snuck past the Lakers 119-115. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
