After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Lakers 147-113. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
