After back-to-back tough losses at home, the Los Angeles Lakers went on the road on Tuesday to take on the Phoenix Suns as a part of Emirates NBA Cup group play.
The Lakers were looking to stay undefeated in group play, while the Suns welcomed both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal back to the lineup, looking to keep their Emirates NBA Cup hopes alive despite having one loss already. This marked the third time these teams have met already this season after splitting the first two. In this one, it was the Suns that came out on top with an easy 127-100 victory.
