After Action Report
The Suns buried the Lakers 117-89. Suns' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
