Lakers once again proved they are not a match against NBA’s best teams. Pheonix Suns exposed Lakers flaws in the dominating 108-88 victory. Lakers were without Anthony Davis who had injured his knee a few days back and the Big three was reduced to a duo of LeBron James, Russell Westbrook but they kept searching for a group effort from the rest of the teammates.
Lakers almost lost James as well when he rolled on the floor clutching his ankle and then the crowd patiently waited for him to get back up and shake off the fall to come back stronger. But Ayton and JaVale McGee took advantage of Laker's lack of size while Devin Booker motivated seven Suns players into double figures and overcame the 56 points combined effort of James and Westbrook.
