After Action Report
The Lakers held off the Suns 129-123. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
