The depleted Lakers got blown out by the Phoenix Suns, 130-104, on Monday night. With no LeBron James, Austin Reaves, Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis or Juan Toscano-Anderson, the Lakers’ chances of beating Phoenix on the road on the second night of a back-to-back were slim to none, and they were never in the game.
In a forgettable game, there were few, if any, positive aspects. Dennis Schröder led all Lakers with 30 points, and Kendrick Nunn had the most points off the bench with 17. With the game out of reach since essentially the first quarter, it’s hard to see anything from tonight’s game that can be used to build off of.
