For the first of their three-game homestand, the Lakers battled it out with the top team in the West tonight. The Phoenix Suns traveled to DTLA and brought down the Lakers 108-90.
A few Lakers, including head coach Frank Vogel, are still out and abide by the League’s health and safety protocols. But Dwight Howard and Talen Horton-Tucker rejoined the squad and were warmly welcomed by their teammates.
This game followed a similar trajectory to many of the games this season. The home team started strong, intact, and on their toes, but lost their focus as the clock climbed to 48.
