After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Suns 109-86. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; shots just aren't falling for the Suns lately. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
