After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Lakers 123-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
