After Action Report

The Lakers downed the Suns 92-77. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
