After Action Report
The Lakers downed the Suns 114-99. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
