The pieces finally came together in a meaningful way as the Los Angeles Lakers scorched the Phoenix Suns in a 132-130 victory. Brandon Ingram scored a career-high 25 points, while the potential of Lonzo Ball spilled out on the court. Ball's fingerprints were all over the game, clocking a game-high 29 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, flirting with a triple-double.
It was quite a bounce-back performance from the Lakers, who used an incredibly energetic third quarter to take command of the game. Corey Brewer's defense on Devin Booker, throwing him off his rhythm after a big first half, was one of the keys to the game.
