LAKERS WIN DESPITE CLANKING SHOTS
One of oddities of stats for game was Lakers' horrible shooting led to 57 rebound, 21 offensive by Lakers & 36 defensive by Suns.
Suns shot 49.3% from field & 48.0% from deep vs. Lakers' 37.3% from field & 30.0% from deep but still lost game. pic.twitter.com/8NsIpdlgcu— LakerTom (@LakerTom) December 6, 2023

Ham deserves kudos for Lakers great defense against Suns
While I was pissed at Darvin for not staggering LBJ & AD & favoring Prince, Ham deserves kudos for our defensive strategy and tactics used.
Lakers did great job doubling KD and Book and forcing them into tough shots and turnovers. Our size and length shrunk court defensively. https://t.co/LJ4gFRbNiR
