Phoenix Suns

The Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns face off on Tuesday night at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. Which team will win?

If you would rather wait for more news around James, I would look to the full game over if he is ruled in. Tipico has no influence over nor are any such revenues in any way dependent on or linked to the newsrooms or news coverage. The Lakers will have LeBron James and Anthony Davis, even though they both carry the questionable tag, but I don’t think they will help the visitors to avoid losing this game." The Lakers have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five games. The Suns may have motivation questions given the fact that they are seven games up on the No. 1 seed in the West, but I see their offense gashing a Lakers defense that is 28th in defensive rating since the All-Star break, per NBA.com. The team total is high at 122, but the Suns scored 140 on the hapless Lakers defense last time out and would love to put the final nail in the team's coffin for this season. They have failed to cover the spread in three consecutive games.

If the Phoenix Suns defeat their Pacific Division foe, the Los Angeles Lakers, they will not only set a new team record for regular season wins, but they will ...

The Los Angeles Lakers are 23rd in offensive rating, 22nd in defensive rating, and 22nd in net rating. The more you can shoot from the outside, the less you have to drive to the interior and risk harm. The Lakers have won 8 of those series, though the Suns’ 5 series wins have all come in the last 7 matchups since 1993, including 2021. When we put this team together, we looked really good on paper, but we haven't had a chance to reach that potential with guys being in and out of the lineup." This is what happens in a perfect world, and it equals victory. They can turn it on when they need to, but I’d rather they went into the playoffs in a rhythm and attack mentality. At the same time, you don’t want to be in a funk heading into the playoffs. On Sunday afternoon, the Suns were perfectly content to shoot a large percentage of their shots from beyond the arc against the Thunder. It’s also logical. The Suns don’t have much to play for save regaining Chris Paul’s bearings and allowing Cameron Johnson to rediscover his three-point rhythm. The Lakers have lost six straight, leaving Anthony Davis wondering, “what if?”. They’re in the midst of wrapping up the regular season at this point. That alone could be enough to motivate Phoenix in this game.

The Phoenix Suns took down the Los Angeles Lakers tonight, finally securing their record-breaking 63rd win of the season.

That was, until earlier this week, when the Suns dropped consecutive games to the Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder. Regardless though, Phoenix’s main objective lies further down the line, painted in gold and bearing the name “Larry O’Brien.” But for now, fans would be wise to enjoy this moment. Three games still stand between Phoenix and the postseason, leaving them with more room to improve that record if they please.

Over a week after spraining his ankle in a game against the New Orleans Pelicans, LeBron James is still ailing. When the Los Angeles Lakers take on the ...

The four-time MVP has had an amazing season despite being 37 years of age. He missed two games near the beginning of the schedule with another sprained ankle, then he was forced to be out for eight contests due to an ab injury. “James was ruled out of Tuesday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns with left ankle soreness, the team announced,” wrote Dave McMenamin. “It will be James’ fourth missed game out of the Lakers’ past five.”

The Phoenix Suns started the game a bit off their mark again, but Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton carried the team to a 63-58 lead at halftime, ...

But the Suns still couldn’t put together back to back shot-making with defensive stops, and were still down 44-39 almost halfway through the second quarter. After launching a ton of threes on Sunday in the loss to the Thunder, the Suns here were forcing the ball inside but still having trouble finishing. Ayton and Booker collected a pair of fouls each and also accounted for 19 of the Suns 23 points on the board. The Lakers started with 4 straight makes and 5 of their first 7 shots, including a trio of threes, to take a 15-8 lead. Cameron Johnson finally tied the game with a three pointer, 33-33, just under two minutes into the second quarter. *Booker now has tied his regular-season career high of 6 three-point shots for the 17th time.

The Lakers simply couldn't cool down the Suns, losing to them 121-110, and they're now out of contention for the play-in tournament.

Augustin barely made a dent in 18 minutes of playing time, missing all three of his shots and going scoreless. He scored just two points on free throws and got three rebounds in 15 minutes. Reaves was probably the only bright spot for the Lakers tonight. He finished with 21 points on 10-of-18 shooting, to go along with 13 rebounds. Davis was clearly in pain, and his foot problems affected him while running the floor both offensively and defensively. The Suns’ starting center finished with 22 points and 13 rebounds while making 10-of-14 shots.

Phoenix Suns marked an important milestone for the NBA team, following their win against the Los Angeles Lakers on April 5.

It is a first in the history of the franchise. - 64 wins = 0%: Of the four teams to ended their season with 64 wins, none of them won a title. It was one of the most successful runs in the history of the franchise. The 2021-22 Suns will gone down in history as the greatest regular season team we have seen in Phoenix, and I don’t think that is much of a debate. They have set the mark for regular season excellence for the franchise. They shredded the NBA throughout the regular season, putting themselves in a class all their own relative to dominant regular season performances. The 2021-22 Phoenix Suns started the season 1-3 after reaching the NBA Finals in 2021. It was a letdown at the end of a promising run. However, mediocrity was rampant, and when the team hit rock bottom with 29 wins in 2003, it was time to make a splash and change the franchise’s direction once more. During his MVP season, Charles Barkley led the Phoenix Suns to not only their first 60-win season, but to a 62 wins with only 20 losses. That changed in season number 54 as the 2021-22 version of the Suns downed the Golden State Warriors to put their name amongst the great Phoenix teams with their 62nd win. The Phoenix Suns went from a sans serif font to a western font, but for the most part the uniforms remained the same.

Phoenix Suns All-Star Chris Paul is the 1st player in NBA history to be part of four different franchises to set a record for wins in a single season.

Everybody gets to see what he’s been doing on the court for the past 20 years, but nobody gets to see the behind the scenes. Multiple injuries cost him 37 games that season as he missed 25 in a row after knee surgery. At the end of the day, you want to have a chance. You at least want to have a chance, and I’m grateful to be here with this group." “I’ve always been a fan first, and then getting the behind the scenes. I’m privileged to be able to see it every day. Follow him on Twitter at @DuaneRankin. "I was walking off the floor and there was C.J. (Paul's brother). Every step of the way, I've seen C.J." To be a sponge to it.” He led the Thunder to a 44-38 record and the playoffs in the NBA-shortened season due to COVID-19. It would be nice to put a championship with all that," Paul said. The Suns 12-time All-Star is now the only player in NBA history to be part of four teams to set a franchise record for victories in a single season.

The Phoenix Suns broke their franchise single-season win record with 63 wins. LA Lakers were also eliminated from the playoffs in Suns' victory.

Head coach Frank Vogel and the Lakers are expected to part ways in what seemed like an almost inevitable situation. Still, he’s able to score on the best defenders and is one of the best point guards of all time. It’s fun having the best record in the NBA during the regular season. The Suns used it as motivation and that’s why they have the best record in the NBA at 63-16.
