"For all of the struggles, the Suns brought with them Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and the 10th-best offense in the league."
"L.A. built a 31-15 lead through the first quarter, smothering the Suns into 6-for-22 shooting (27.3%)."
"And then when they generated the shots, we had a great contest, said Lakers coach JJ Redick."
"They look like they're connected, said Suns coach Mike Budenholzer."
Despite a tough road trip that saw the Lakers lose three games without LeBron James, they returned home and secured a decisive 107-96 victory against the Phoenix Suns. The Lakers, now fifth in the Western Conference, showcased a strong defensive performance, limiting the Suns to poor shooting. Coach JJ Redick noted the team's physicality and effective rotations. The win marked a significant turnaround for the Lakers against a well-regarded Suns offense featuring stars like Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, who had previously torched them.
