After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Suns 103-101. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
