Devin Booker was in no mood after his team’s Game 3 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Phoenix Suns All-Star let his frustrations out even before the game ended, as he instigated a dangerous shove on Los Angeles guard Dennis Schroder. Schroder was mid-flight when Booker made contact with him, which sent the Lakers […]

The “washed-up” LeBron James was at it again. Emphasis on the quotation marks. LeBron came up big—surprise, surprise—for the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of their first round series against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. The King looked like he was having fun out there, making acrobatic plays and dishing to teammates all game. […]

On the surface, the Los Angeles Lakers merely won Game 3 of a first-round playoff series Thursday night at the Staples Center. Yet, this one victory against the Phoenix Suns carried an enormous amount of resonance and meaning for fans of the Purple and Gold. Kobe Bryant is a part of this story. After Devin […]

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis wasn’t pleased with Devin Booker’s hard foul on teammate Dennis Schroder in Game 3. The Phoenix Suns star was ejected late in the game after he pushed Schroder mid-air while the Lakers guard was rising up for a shot. The foul was deemed excessive and unnecessary which ultimately sent […]

Andre Drummond loves being LeBron James’ teammate on the Los Angeles Lakers. Aside from being part of the defending champions’ frontcourt, Drummond just snagged his first back-to-back wins in the postseason with the Lakers stamping their class on the Phoenix Suns in Game 3. Late in the game, with the Lakers up double digits, Drummond […]

Remember when LeBron James and Anthony Davis played poorly in Game 1 against the Phoenix Suns? Yeah, that feels like a glaring aberration now. Their Game 1 loss was the equivalent of a boxer feeling out his opponent in the opening round. LeBron and Davis stepped it up in Game 2 and upped the ante […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Anthony Davis was both shoeless and teammate-less for a couple of moments in Game 3 against the Phoenix Suns. The eight-time All-Star found himself on the floor after losing his shoe in the fourth quarter and, unfortunately for AD, all his teammates walked out and basically left him hanging. Come on […]

The Phoenix Suns know that LeBron James and Anthony Davis are playing in their second NBA postseason as teammates on the Los Angeles Lakers. They have played well over a hundred games together in the regular season and the postseason combined, which translates to well over 400 quarters in which they have shared the floor […]

The ongoing series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns is no ordinary first-round matchup.

After several physical altercations throughout these early games, looks like we have another one to add to the list. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers versus Phoenix Suns series has had its fair share of physicality. Star big man Anthony Davis was the latest to draw the short end of some contact.

Things are getting juicy between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns — both on and off the court. Suns forward Jae Crowder just gave his stamp of approval on a tweet claiming that Anthony Davis’ championship ring with the Lakers last season is nothing more than a fake. A random user on Twitter […]

The injury status of Chris Paul has been one of, if not the most important aspect the Phoenix Suns have kept a close eye on as they head into their Game 3 matchup against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. CP3 has been a key cog for the Suns all season […]

Montrezl Harrell may or may not be cryptically complaining about his recent playing time ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers‘ Game 3 contest versus the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night. Harrell’s Instagram account posted an image showing Harrell strolling into Staples Center with a black Broken Promises (I think) hoodie wrapped about his waist that […]

For the first time in the 2021 playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers will get to play on their home floor against the Phoenix Suns. It’s time to continue our NBA odds series and make a Suns-Lakers prediction and pick. The series is currently tied at one game apiece, with the Lakers winning the most recent […]

After missing out on the playoffs for the last couple of years, the Phoenix Suns are finally back on track by finishing the regular season as the second seed in the West. The thing is, their playoff push is in danger after ending up with a healthy LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers. Due to the […]

The Phoenix Suns were unlucky enough when they drew the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the playoffs after their best regular season in years. If that wasn’t bad enough, Chris Paul’s brutal injury luck striking yet again in Game 1 was a cruel twist of fate that’s going to rob us of […]

For most of the Phoenix Suns’ stellar season, it was Chris Paul and Devin Booker who heaped praise from fans and analysts. But in the first two games of the playoffs, Deandre Ayton is finally getting some love. Frankly, his play should’ve been noticed way earlier. His averages might have gone down in his third […]

The Los Angeles Lakers relied on “championship DNA”, crunch-time execution, and increased assertiveness and focus — namely from their two stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis — to take back home-court advantage from the Phoenix Suns and even their first-round series at 1-1. "It's about championship DNA and we got that." @KingJames talks with @LakersReporter […]

Cam Payne had the night of his life on Tuesday. Despite the Phoenix Suns losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of their first-round series, the former Murray State standout dropped 19 points off the bench while also dishing out seven assists. Most of his offensive contributions came in the second half as […]

Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis was an absolute train wreck in a Game 1 loss against the Phoenix Suns, with Deandre Ayton badly outplaying him in his playoff debut. There was plenty of criticism aimed at Davis, which he took to heart. Davis used the criticism as fuel and apparently showed up to Monday’s […]

The Los Angeles Lakers evened up their first-round series with the Phoenix Suns with a much-needed 109-102 Game 2 victory on Tuesday night. The defending champions used a late-game flurry led by no less than Anthony Davis and LeBron James to bring the series to 1-1 heading into Game 3 in Los Angeles. This series […]

LeBron James and Anthony Davis played like superstars in the Los Angeles Lakers’ “must-win” 109-102 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday to take home-court advantage and tie the first-round series at 1-1. Two days after an uninspired Game 1 showing — from LeBron, the Lakers collective, and Davis in particular — Los Angeles responded exactly how […]

LeBron James is no stranger to dishing some tough love. The Los Angeles Lakers star was seen all up in Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s ear during the last two minutes against the Phoenix Suns. The most likely scenario is that James was just trying to keep his Lakers’ teammate in high spirits. But some fans couldn’t help […]

LeBron James has heard all your slander, and answers with a dagger. The Los Angeles Lakers star put the final nail in the coffin against the Phoenix Suns to pick up the Game 2 victory, 109-102. Peep LeBron flexing his clutch gene to put the Lakers up big down below: LEBRON. DAGGER. pic.twitter.com/ntrQccRJNF — NBA […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was his usual unstoppable self in Game 2 against the Phoenix Suns, but he found a surprising NBA nemesis on the clutch in second-year man Cam Johnson. In the closing seconds of the third quarter, LeBron showed off his unguardable fadeaway to bring the Lakers’ lead back to double digits. […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are on a mission in Game 2 against the Phoenix Suns. They stare down at a 1-0 deficit and falling 2-0 would prove to be a huge hurdle in their quest for a repeat title. LeBron James has just 10 points in the first half for the Lakers, […]

Things got off to a rather contentious start for Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of their first-round matchup against the Phoenix Suns. AD kicked things off — literally — with a controversial hit on the nether regions of Suns forward Jae Crowder. Davis was whistled for a flagrant foul for […]

Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker had quite a playoff debut on Sunday, as he led his team to a hard-fought Game 1 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. The defending champs had trouble preventing Booker from scoring at will, and unsurprisingly, the Lakers have dialed in on this aspect as they head into Game 2 […]

Marc Gasol has been a notable absence for the Los Angeles Lakers’ past two games — last week’s play-in game against the Golden State Warriors and Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Phoenix Suns. There have been no reports of an injury for the 36-year-old big man, which begs the question: is he officially out […]

The Phoenix Suns will host the Los Angeles Lakers for Game 2 of this Western Conference playoff series. It’s time to continue our NBA odds series and make a Lakers-Suns prediction and pick. Phoenix took down the Lakers in Game 1 by a score of 99-90. The Suns comfortably covered the 2.5-point spread behind their […]

The Los Angeles Lakers had far from their best stuff against the Phoenix Suns in Game 1. L.A. couldn’t hit a shot nor match the energy of their opponent, while LeBron James and Anthony Davis were outclassed by Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. Despite Chris Paul’s injury and dangerous actions (everyone should be ready for […]

While the Phoenix Suns have yet to snag an NBA title in their history, they’ve still had a number of great moments. These are moments that die-hard Suns fans will remember for years to come, and they’re hoping the franchise will be able to provide more, perhaps as soon as this postseason. Let’s take a […]

Could it be true? That LeBron James is indeed—GASP!—human? Just minutes earlier, LeBron reposted on his Instagram Stories a quote on staying focused on the dream ahead. It talked about sacrificing personal life to achieve goals. It also mentioned that these days, challenges are a marathon and not a race. The King posted a 100 […]

It’s no secret that at this point, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is not 100 percent healthy. He just recently returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to a high-ankle sprain, and he has since taken a few knocks over the past couple of games. Lakers coach Frank Vogel has provided a […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has pretty much won it all throughout what has been an illustrious career. One award he has not bagged, however, is an Oscar. Well, leave it to the internet to change that. LeBron was accused of playacting after being poked in the eye by Draymond Green in the dying […]

LeBron James’ legacy has been highly disputed by fans across the world. Some recognize him as the greatest of all time while others try to squander all of his accomplishments. He has a chance to reshape his legacy with the Los Angeles Lakers in this coming fortnight against the Phoenix Suns, beginning with a crucial […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope offered a simple explanation for the Los Angeles Lakers’ uninspired 99-90 Game 1 loss to the Phoenix Suns, which tipped off at 12:30 p.m. PT on Sunday. “We’ve gotta come out with a sense of urgency,” the 3-and-D wing said following Lakers’ practice on Monday. “We knew they were gonna come out strong. […]

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton thinks he has the highest upside of any young big in the entire NBA. He’s ready to go out and prove his worth.
