Luka & Reaves Tag Team Suns for Epic Win…
The Los Angeles Lakers brought jazz hands and victory vibes back to Crypto.com Arena, breaking their four-game losing streak with a spectacular show led by none other than Luka “Triple-Double Whisperer” Doncic and Austin “The Assist Machine” Reaves. As they tangoed to a 107-96 win over the Phoenix Suns, fans were more entertained than a cat at a laser pointer convention.
Doncic flirted with a triple-double, scoring 33 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and dishing out eight assists. Meanwhile, Reaves chimed in with a cool 28 points and six assists, making it clear they’re on a mission to make losing as rare as a unicorn at a dog show. The LeBron-less Lakers showed that it was just a case of “ouchies” holding them back and not some basketball curse.
Jaxson Hayes returned from his vacation on the sidelines and scored 19 points with “easy looks” from his pals, Luka and Reaves. Meanwhile, the Suns’ superstar duo, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, had a less-than-sunny night, hitting just 6 out of 17 shots. The Lakers’ defense had everyone wondering if they cast an invisibility spell on the Suns’ shooting skills. Up next, the Lakers continue their residency stage show against the San Antonio Spurs, ready to rock and roll their way to more victories!
