After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Suns 127-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
