After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Suns 132-109. Lakers' offense had its way with the Suns. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
