The Suns pulled away from the Lakers 115-101. The breakneck pace played right into Suns' hands. The Suns ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
