On Sunday night at 5 p.m. PT, the 17-7 Los Angeles Lakers will square off against the 14-11 Phoenix Suns in a battle of Western Conference semi-contenders. Bot

The Lakers will be short-handed again as they continue their road trip, with availability concerns impacting Sunday’s matchup against the Phoenix Suns.

With his 25th point of the night on Feb. 3, 2025 at POR, Devin Booker surpassed Walter Davis as the Suns all-time leading scorer, joining Stephen Curry (Warriors) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (Bucks) as the only active players on the team they hold the franchise scoring record for

PHOENIX — The ultimate achievement of Sunday’s 116-114 theatrical Phoenix Suns loss to the Los Angeles Lakers wasn’t how they lost or even how they roared back inside the game’s chaos. It was how a rivalry going back decades has now been reignited to a peak temperature we haven’t seen in many years.

That is, unless you're JJ Redick, because he lives for these types of situations. He got to do so today as the Los Angeles Lakers hacked out a 116-114 victory over the pesky Phoenix Suns. Those things – the collapse, the technicals, and the barbs – all happened in this game.

LOS ANGELES — The Phoenix Suns overcame losing Devin Booker to a groin injury in the first half to stun the Los Angeles Lakers, 125-108, Dec. 1, before a sellout crowd of 18,997 at Crypto.com Arena.

The Lakers' defense has become a glaring weakness, the team ranking 27th in defensive rating over its last 10 games while giving up dangerous transition opportunities.

Then a furious 12-0 run got the Suns to within two with under a minute remaining. They just couldn’t get it done in the end due to some questionable reviews and calls that seemed to go LA’s way every single time. LeBron shoved a ref, hand checked Brooks in the ribs, and got away with what should’ve been a four-point play on Brooks’ three.
