Whether it was because Luka Dončić, Gabe Vincent and Rui Hachimura were out or because of a bigger issue, the Lakers were unable to make it much of a game against the Suns. Phoenix was in full control at the half, up by double figures and in the third, they broke the game wide open, […]

Whenever the injury report is an important topic of discussion, that’s not a good sign. That’s where the Lakers find themselves currently with Deandre Ayton, Rui Hachimura, and Gabe Vincent all missing the team’s most recent contest against the Clippers.

LA had just one game against the Suns and they took care of business despite blowing a comfortable fourth-quarter lead. Overall, it was a […]

There is plenty of blame to spread all around for the Lakers blowing a 20-point lead in the fourth and turning their matchup against the Suns into a nailbiter. Marcus Smart is certainly one of the culprits. He had an awful no-look pass attempt to Jarred Vanderbilt that landed right in the hands of Grayson […]

After weeks on the outside looking in, Jarred Vanderbilt re-entered the Lakers rotation against the Suns. He took full advantage of that opportunity, showing the best version of himself by attacking the glass relentlessly and creating havoc defensively. In nearly every sense, it was the best-case scenario for Vando in his return. He made the […]

Despite having a 20-point advantage at one point, the Lakers were down by one late in Sunday’s game against the Suns thanks to Dillon Brooks hitting a 3-pointer with just 12.2 seconds left. With Brooks being his typical villain self, he made another bone-headed play by unnecessarily bumping LeBron James to not only put the […]

Jarred Vanderbilt has had quite a time with the Lakers. He’s had highs like the 2022-23 season, where he was an integral part of a team that reached the Western Conference Finals. Then came bad luck with injuries, which have limited his availability over the last two years. Now that he’s healthy, he has been […]

Given the absurdity of the contest and the number of whistles, it was a given that the Last Two Minute report for Sunday’s Lakers-Suns game would include some errors. It was also a given that it would heavily include Dillon Brooks. Both turned out to be true. The league admitted two mistakes in the report, […]

By hook or by crook, Dillon Brooks was going to make LeBron James acknowledge him in Sunday’s game between the Lakers and Suns. Consider it mission accomplished unsuccessfully. In the most Dillon Brooks sequence imaginable, a game-winner turned into an ejection that eventually led to a Lakers win. It also included multiple altercations between the […]

It wasn’t a pretty win, but the Lakers were able to come out on top against the Suns on the road. At one point, LA led by as many as 20 points, but almost blew it in the fourth with silly fouls, bad turnovers and poor overall shooting. However, some clutch free throws from Marcus […]

In one of the most bonkers games of the season, the Lakers survived a wild ending against the Suns to earn a 116-114 win on Sunday. Dillon Brooks hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with roughly 12 seconds remaining, but immediately got himself ejected. LeBron James made it interesting late as he missed the technical, but was […]
