Highlights: *courtesy of MLG Highlights*
Toss out the Phoenix Suns label of the "team most depended on for Laker W's." The Suns were on a back-to-back. They just gave up 90 points in the first half to Houston the other night. And based off the game, the Lakers looked like they were the ones on a back-to-back. Of course, the highlight of the game last night, Kyle Kuzma. He struggled to get his shot going in the first half. But in the 2nd half, he caught fire and single-handedly kept the Lakers afloat when it looked like the Suns were gonna run away in this game. The biggest thing in how Kuzma got going was that he was looking to attack and his shot just followed with it. However, Kuzma's career-high was overshadowed big time by the Suns hitting some timely shots, Devin Booker getting his way in scoring, and the Lakers stopping their own momentum with some turnovers and missed shots. They were daring guys like Dragan Bender to shoot and he made sure the Lakers' defense paid big time with some key three pointers. Brook Lopez missed a couple of threes that stalled the Lakers' series of runs. He struggled from beyond the arc. Laker players made some unforced errors down the stretch. And most notably, they could not slow down Devin Booker down. He finally had a high-scoring performance go his way against the Lakers.
