Suns registered their 17th win from their last 21 matches and they are now closer to Western Conference leaders, the Utah Jazz, within two games and move ahead of the Lakers who have a 28-13 record. Lakers hit a major setback when their star player LeBron James was injured during the Hawks match and he had to set out of this match as well and watch Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton drop 26 points each while Chris Paul scored a triple-double with 11 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds as Suns took advantage of the absence of both the power forwards to seal a 111-94 win against Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
Paul made history as well and became the sixth player in history to have 10000 assists. In other matches, Luka Doncic’s 37 led them to a 132-92 win against Portland, Indiana defeated Miami 109-106, while Cleveland handed Toronto their eighth loss with 116-105 win.
