After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Suns 95-69. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
