Last night in Phoenix, the NBA Cup took center stage, and the Footprint Center was awash in bold hues. The bright orange court, paired with the Suns’ statement edition uniforms, created a striking visual that perfectly set the tone for what was to come. The energy in the arena was electric, and the Suns delivered a performance to match, dismantling the Los Angeles Lakers 127-100.
Phoenix asserted their dominance in the second half, outscoring the Lakers 65-40 in a show of relentless energy and precision. It wasn’t just a victory; it was a statement. After a rocky stretch, the Suns reminded everyone just how dangerous they can be, especially with their Big Three returning to action.
