After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns outlasted the Lakers 118-101. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
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.
