Even without Chris Paul, the Phoenix Suns had no struggles whatsoever against the Lakers on Sunday as they blew out the Lakers at home, 125-93.
The Lakers looked the better team for all of eight points on Sunday as they lead 6-2 before being waxed by Phoenix over the ensuing 46 minutes. LeBron James did all he could on the night with 31 points, seven rebounds and six assists but only Carmelo Anthony had more than 13 points through the opening three quarters.
Meanwhile, the Suns set all sorts of season-high records for points in a quarter, a half and the opening three quarters as they had 33 assists to five turnovers before the benches emptied for garbage time in the fourth quarter.
