Suns Hammer Lakers

The Lakers wrap up their two game road trip win-less running into a young and hungry Phoenix Suns team. Jodie Meeks was the Lakers' top performer scoring 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists on 6-15 shooting, but it was the Suns' game all game long lead by a 22 point burst by former Laker camp body, Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee recording a 17 points, 20 rebound performance to rout the thin Lakers 90-117. Pau Gasol recorded 10 points after missing Saturday's game on an illness, Xavier Henry tallied 13 points on a terrible shooting night, 3-12 from the field, and Nick Young continues recording double digit points off the bench with 19. The Lakers return home on Christmas Day in a daunting matchup against the 2x defending champion, Miami Heat.

Final Score: @ Phoenix 90-117 [L]
