After Action Report

The Suns blew the doors off the Lakers 113-91. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
