The Phoenix Suns defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 137 - 101 Wednesday at Talking Stick Resort Arena. It did n't take long for the Suns to grab ahold of this game, as they managed to open the game on a 27 - 8 run and never looked back. After winning the opening quarter by 17 points, Phoenix continued to pile it on and effectively ended the game by halftime. The Suns' backcourt was efficient and dominant offensively in the victory, with Eric Bledsoe leading the way with a triple - double of 25 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds. Devin Booker added 23 points of his own on 9 - of - 14 shooting from the field and 4 - of - 7 shooting from behind the arc. In the end, all 13 Phoenix players managed to score against a struggling Lakers (19 - 39) defense. Those Lakers have now dropped two games in a row and three of their last four following Wednesday's embarrassing defeat that ended with the team shooting just 38 percent from the field. Lou Williams was one of the lone bright spots for Los Angeles, as he increased his trade value yet again with 21 points off the bench on 7 - of - 13 shooting from the field. D'Angelo Russell added 21 points of his own, but he shot a subpar 7 - of - 20 from the field Wednesday. With the loss, the Lakers sit just a half - game behind the Suns for the worst record in the West but remain nine games behind the Nets for the worst record in the NBA. The teams will now both head into the All-Star break, with both resuming play on Friday, Feb. 24.
