The Los Angeles Lakers went on the road to Phoenix trying to make sure that a losing streak wasn’t in the cards in their first game of a back to back. After being knocked down a notch by the World Champion Toronto Raptors, they found themselves on the ropes late against the Phoenix Suns.
To be clear here, this is not the Phoenix Suns that NBA fans have gotten used to the last five years. Head coach Monty Williams has teamed up with GM James Jones to turn the culture around in the desert.
The Phoenix Suns showed the Lakers and fans watching why they are one of the best shooting teams in the NBA.
