The LA Lakers capped off a four-game road swing with a showdown against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. LA, which edged the home team 116-114 in a controversial game on Sunday, looked to take a 2-1 series lead with another victory. The Lakers entered the game without Luka Doncic (leg), Rui Hachimura (groin) and Gabe Vincent (back).
The Lakers and the Suns went back and forth in the first quarter behind balanced attacks from both teams. LeBron James had four points but went 1-for-4 with three assists. Deandre Ayton contributed six points and four rebounds.
Thanks for the submission!
Devin Booker led the Suns with seven points, two assists and two steals.
