After Action Report
The Suns survived the Lakers 99-96. The Suns won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
