After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns ran roughshod over the Lakers 141-109. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
