Lakers vs. Suns Final Score: Patrick Beverley ejected for fighting in defeat

of lakers After a great performance from Devin Booker, they fell 115-105 to the Suns.he scored 25 The Suns didn’t need a final minute from him to extend their winning streak against the Lakers to eight games the night before fouling out with just over a minute left.

When Excluding LeBron James, Durbin Ham have selected the same starting five men they have won in their last three games. With Phoenix at home and having his second-best record in the West, many thought this would be an easy win for the Suns. The Lakers quieted the noise in the first quarter. Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis and Lonnie Walker IV had a good run and were tied 4-1. The rebounding battle was all tied at 14, with Booker hot in the middle of the frame and if it hadn’t been for Michal Bridge’s two 3s, the Lakers might have taken the lead.

But they didn’t. Will they play like he’s in a three-game winning streak, or will he fold now that he’s playing with a winning team?A near-bench unit of Gabriel, Westbrook, Walker, Thomas Bryant and Austin Reeves held their own while Anthony Davis got some much-needed rest, AD hitting his 5:08 mark He scored 7 as he returned and remained productive quarter point. He was horrified when his left arm/wrist collided with Devin Booker, but after a timeout he was back and seemed fine.

Anyone know who was okay? Lonnie Walker IV and Russell Westbrook. Walker dunked the basketball and finished the layup near the rim, and in the half he scored six points on six shots.of Russ Sixth Man of the Year Campaign He had a strong first half, recording 7 points and 3 assists in 14 minutes. Thanks to this team effort, the Lakers ended the quarter on his 18-6 run and led the first half at 55-53.

Unfortunately, as is typical for Los Angeles, the third quarter got off to a rough start. Phoenix came out with a 10-2 run led by Booker, which was too much for Reeves or Laker to cover.

The rest of the team struggled to score as Davis was still plagued with a left arm injury. It wasn’t until halfway through his third that Walker started to heat up again and the aggressive AD continued to reach the line and finish strong in the paint. Down 10 points in the third inning, the Lakers came back with a bang. But the NBA is a game of runs, and the Suns fought back and finished the third strong. Phoenix took the quarter and entered his fourth, 86-79.

In the final quarter, the Lakers were unable to close the gap. Phoenix extended his lead by 12 points and, to the Lakers’ credit, never folded. They came close to six midway through the period, but the most impactful thing to happen in the quarter was the ejection (and perhaps his imminent suspension) of Patrick Beverly. I body checked Deandre Ayton who received the tech of the provocation. The bench wasn’t cleared, but there was a lot of pushing and pushing from players on both sides. was.

A flagrant call helped keep the Lakers in the game for a few minutes longer, but only delayed the inevitable. Despite another phenomenal game by Anthony Davis, the Lakers were unable to win again in Phoenix.

important point

Anthony Davis is good at basketball. He’s been tinkering with his career points and rebounding numbers, finally showing the grit and availability the Lakers desperately needed over the past two seasons. He won’t play all 82 games as he dreamed when the season started, but he’s played in 15 of 16 games and you can’t imagine asking for more from him. It’s hard. There weren’t many positives for the Lakers this season, but AD was a franchise player.

Next up for the Lakers is back-to-back games against the Spurs starting Friday. Injury reports will be monitored by the entire Lakers Nation. Hopefully LeBron James can come back And it was confirmed today that Anthony Davis’ injury was not a big deal.
