Game Preview
The Lakers are unbeaten and have three victories. This is something just a few expected, and to be honest, the purple and gold really look good. Their most recent victory was at home, against the Sacramento Kings, 131-127.
LeBron was dominating the field and unstoppable, with a triple-double. LBJ scored 32 points, 14 boards, and 10 assists. Meanwhile, Anthony Davis had 31 buckets and nine boards, going 10-for-15 from the field.
Suns quickly bounced back following the loss in LA. They were better than the Mavs in Arizona, 114-102. KD had a gunfight with Luka, with the Slovenian scoring more points, yet KD’s unit won. Durantula ended the night with 31 points and nine boards. Devin Booker had 21, and Jusuf Nurkic 18 with 14 boards.
Luka and Durant had a slight dispute, with the Suns forward showing a “too small” sign on the Mavs’ superstar. They got into a heating exchange, though nothing serious came out of that.
