Three takeaways from Suns 125-108 win over Lakers: Booker out, Brooks and Gillespie step up
“The pressure and the fouling, three, four times on the possession that those teams do — because Phoenix plays a lot like [Oklahoma City] — it’s to get you sped up. It’s to get you disorganized,” Lakers coach J.J. Redick said pregame about the Suns’ defense, which entered the game averaging a league-leading 10.6 steals a game.
LeBron James returns from injury management, but is held to just 10 points as the Lakers see their seven-game winning streak end in a 125-108 loss to Phoenix.
Dillon Brooks scored 33 points, Collin Gillespie added 16 of his career-high 28 in the fourth quarter, and the Phoenix Suns emphatically snapped the Los Angeles Lakers' seven-game winning streak with a 125-108 victory.
Los Angeles plays Phoenix looking to prolong its seven-game win streak. Monday's matchup is the first this season for the two squads.
