No less than five multi-time All-Stars play for tonight’s opponents, so you’d think this matchup between the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers would be a real barn burner. Except four of those five don’t suit up.
The Suns started the game down half their regular rotation but were still in much better shape than the Lakers, who were on the second night of a back to back and missing their best four players.
The Suns quickly grabbed a 16-point first quarter lead, stretched that to 24 by halftime and won the game going away by a final score 130-104.
