After Action Report
The Suns blew the doors off the Lakers 126-96. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
