Defense Wins Games. Lakers Survive Suns 116–114. A Night of the Vando Effect

“Winning ugly is actually really fun.”That was JJ Redick after the Lakers survived the Suns 116–114 and honestly, it says everything.Despite shooting just 7-of-37 from three, turning the ball over 21 times, and nearly blowing a 20 point lead, the Lakers still found a way to win one of the craziest games of the season. This one was built on defense, rebounding, effort, and pure bench energy.And this is the part JJ needs to understand: we love Vando because his defense matters. It changes the game. It changes the tone.#Lakers #LakeShowCome hang with me: https://linktr.ee/breakfastattiffany2025
