06:31The Hot Mess is back as a munchie meal for Jack's 75th anniversary.
06:38And by Experian.

06:44Here we go.
06:45Six and a half weeks left in the season.
06:46That is it.
06:48And the Lakers and the Suns meet up for the final time this year.
06:52Here's the regular starting five for the Lake Show.
06:55Let's see if they can squeak out a win.
06:57Again, they have been very good in clutch games.
06:59They couldn't get it done despite a shot with the final possession.
07:04For the Suns, once again, no Booker.
07:08No Brooks.
07:09Those are the two top scores.
07:11So shots are available.
07:12Colin Gillespie can be an uh-oh guy.
07:14Just ask Stu.
07:15All right.
07:15Lexus, keys to the game.
07:16And Stu.
07:19Well, the keys to the game.
07:21Very important again tonight.
07:22Fast break points.
07:23The Lakers have to control tempo.
07:25Really the only way this team can really, I think, get with the Lakers tonight is they
07:28turn it over and get a lot of fast break points.
07:30Offensive rebounding.
07:31Lakers have been really negligent in that department, especially in the last game.
07:36And then assist.
07:37When the Lakers are sharing the ball a lot, knocking down shots, the assists go up, and
07:42they're victorious.
07:43Mike is here.
07:44I think I said the last meeting of the year.
07:45It's the last meeting here.
07:47And a lot of things were different the last time the Lakers were in Phoenix.
07:51Yeah.
07:51Last meeting, Billy, it was in December.
07:53And by the way, this is the fourth time the Lakers have been in this building, if you
07:56include the preseason.
07:58But LeBron James did play in that one.
08:00Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves did not.
08:03So that's kind of how things go in the modern NBA.
08:05This time around, it's Phoenix, who is severely shorthanded.
08:08But what J.J.
08:09Reddick said that has been impressive about Phoenix is that they've basically played the same
08:13way, no matter who is on the court.
08:15They expect a certain amount of transition offense.
08:18They love to try and capitalize on turnovers.
08:20And as you know, the Cardinals say in the NBA is to look at a team, see that their star
08:24or even one of their two or their three best players aren't there, and take any bit of
08:29intensity out of your game.
08:30That will bite you, especially against the Suns team.
08:32So they know what they're up against tonight.
08:34Yeah, it's a tough place to play.
08:35Lakers have had some nightmares here over the last few years.
08:38Although Phoenix is not only struggling, shooting, scoring, but they have been struggling
08:43at home.
08:44We'll get to those numbers in a little bit.
08:45But here's Jalen Green.
08:47Our first look at him in a Suns uniform.
08:49Now to the right-hand side.
08:50O'Neal, he can shoot.
08:52He can shoot, and he knocks it down.
08:55Well, they've got a couple of guys in their starting lineup that can shoot.
09:00That's 162 threes now for O'Neal.
09:04LeBron with the Lakers wearing their yellow-gold uniforms.
09:07Used to be the home jerseys.
09:09Now you never know what you're going to get.
09:11Got this little ball away.
09:12Mid-range is good for Luka.
09:15Well, he shows done that first shot.
09:17There's a little contact, step back, and knock it down.
09:20Seventh spot belongs to Phoenix on its way.
09:23Got it.
09:25No, they start to get him off the way that, you know, teams do against the Lakers.
09:30Really intense and focused.
09:32Last two games, they have scored 77 and 81.
09:38LeBron dive.
09:39Good dive, and the dish comes from AR.
09:42Now that was.
09:43If LeBron actually faked like he'd go set a screen and then just went right to the rim.
09:47O'Neal wants it again.
09:48Put a heat check out on top.
09:50Luka's going to control it.
09:52And he's going to get bumped.
09:54So it's the old.
09:54And we go on offensive foul here.
09:59He definitely turned it over.
10:01Stepped out of bounds.
10:02Maybe just stepped on the baseline there.
10:04There's J.J. Redick.
10:06He had three starters go 20-plus, and then Reeves had 18 in the game the other night.
10:12A 1-10-1-0-9 loss to the Magic.
10:15Mark Williams controls on the outside.
10:18LeBron tries to get a hand on it.
10:20Jalen Green, that's not a good option for him, but Dunn controls pass underneath plenty of time on the shot
10:27clock.
10:28So they're going to reorganize and have 3-2-3.
10:31And now no, rebound taken by Doncic.
10:34Now up ahead for Reeves.
10:36And Reeves has it off of his foot under a little bit of duress.
10:40Suns love to run.
10:41He's talked about it.
10:42If they get a bunch of fast break points, that's lookout time for the opposition.
10:47And they're Jalen Green doing what he is very adept at doing, getting into the paint area.
10:52Yeah, he can't shoot from the outside these days, although he did win the Orlando game in double overtime on
10:59a buzzer beater.
11:01He has a big, really struggling from beyond the arc.
11:06Dunn is not a big score.
11:08Williams can be.
11:10Lakers not playing any defense right now.
11:129-4.
11:13And I would have liked to see the Lakers come out with a quick hit.
11:15Not give this team any thought that they possibly can compete shorthanded.
11:20And here come the Lakers.
11:21They have dropped to 6 in the West.
11:23They are one back at Minnesota.
11:24And two up on the Suns.
11:26So this is a huge game.
11:27Suns win.
11:28They're only a game down in the standings.
11:30Lakers would like to separate themselves a little bit.
11:33Once again, knocked away.
11:35Marcus has it underneath the Luka.
11:38Goal!
11:38And one for Doncic.
11:41That was a nice play.
11:42The ball got tipped away from Luka, but it went right to Marcus Smart, who immediately gave it right back.
11:47And Luka gets an and one.
11:49That's a nice play.
11:50That's the way you share the basketball.
11:52If someone has a better looking opportunity than you, you make it happen.
11:55Former Laker assistant.
11:56There he is.
11:57Jordan Ott.
11:58He's 40 years of age.
12:01Here's Luka.
12:01Didn't shoot free throws well the other night.
12:03Didn't shoot threes well the other night.
12:05Back he missed five of them, but he's off to a good start here tonight.
12:09Let's hope he can continue for 48 minutes.
12:12Lakers have had stretches where they play really good basketball, didn't they?
12:15Have those droughts.
12:17Here's Phoenix.
12:17Their high watermark this year was 11 games over 500 when they were 30 and 19.
12:24Gillespie had a big game against the Lakers earlier this season.
12:27He's one of those that I said could shoot.
12:29He's actually an uh-oh guy.
12:31Hunter Nate, done scores.
12:32Anything they get from Dunn is a bonus.
12:35Yeah, this is a nice short delivery, though.
12:39And again, assists are key for the Lakers.
12:42They get 25 assists in a game.
12:45They're bound to win also, sharing the basketball.
12:48LeBron, right back to Reeves, going to try it for me of his own.
12:51Gifts in, comes out, up the ladder.
12:53It's Jalen Green.
12:55Athletic Jalen Green.
12:56Remember, hit from Houston, that's a good game against the Lakers.
13:00Can't lay that one in.
13:01That was a bit of a force attempt.
13:03Now Luka waits for some of his mates to join in.
13:08DeAndre Aiton, the former number one pick in the draft by Phoenix a few years back.
13:13Dodgers turns on Gillespie.
13:15Dodgers comes out the other side.
13:17Busters off the hot dog a little bit that time, but it's kicked out of bounds.
13:20I understand what Luka was doing, though, because Aiton had a good seal on a smaller defender.
13:25That behind-the-back bounce pass was almost very, very clever and very, very successful.
13:31Seven to shoot.
13:32We're nearly four minutes in.
13:34LeBron, back, shoot.
13:35James, rebound taken by the Phoenix Suns.
13:41They've lost two in a row.
13:43Four out of five.
13:44Six out of eight.
13:46And that will nearly found its way in.
13:48Underneath the Lakers are going to get control of it.
13:52All out of bounds.
13:55That's where Aiton should have started to backpedal, give yourself space between him,
14:00give you a chance to react more, to throwing it off your leg.
14:04Now Phoenix has won two of the first three this season.
14:09That one is knocked out of bounds.
14:10There will be one more game.
14:12It'll be in L.A.
14:13These two teams meeting up on the 10th of April.
14:18Invertently said that this was the last one of the season series,
14:22but it's the last one here in this building.
14:24Like I said, we've been here a lot this year.
14:26Uh-oh.
14:27Uh-oh.
14:27He's going to pass it into the corner.
14:30Same result.
14:31Yeah, he had another open guy for the short quarter three.
14:34So what?
14:35Ryan Dunn averages five points a game.
14:37Ryan Dunn out of the box has five nearly right there at his season average.
14:43Marcus drives into the lane, tries to get to the rim.
14:46They turn it over.
14:47Mike, you're going to turn it over a whole lot against Orlando.
14:50That wasn't the issue.
14:56He's going to play the defensive boards.
14:58They steal it.
14:59Here comes Reeves.
15:00He's going to challenge and goaltending.
15:03An easy play to call.
15:04Jalen Green up the ladder, but give two to A.R.
15:07What a nice place by Austin Reeves.
15:09Nice play by Austin Reeves.
15:10First of all, he read the pass, makes the interception,
15:12and then just takes it the length of the floor for the easy deuce.
15:15Nice play by Mr. Reeves.
15:17You know, first half a couple of nights ago, he had the big donut.
15:21Nothing.
15:21Austin, first half.
15:23Eighteen second-half points for Austin Reeves.
15:27One of the reasons why the Lakers had an opportunity at the end.
15:29There he is.
15:31Rainbow and nothing but net for Gillespie.
15:34Now, that's a guy that you literally force to drive.
15:37No matter what move he gives you, don't bite on anything
15:40that enables him to do any kind of space maker
15:44as he gets the space from the defender
15:47and shoots the high-arcing three-pointer,
15:49and nothing but bottom.
15:51Lakers down 17-9.
15:54Good start for Phoenix on top by eight.
15:57Not quite halfway through the first quarter.
15:59Hey, it's time to lock in.
16:00Presented by PrizePix.
16:03Let's check out some of tonight's squares for the Suns.
16:05Colin Gillespie, who just drilled that one
16:07with a more or less of five assists.
16:10And for the Lakers, Luka with more or less 30.5 points.
16:15Get in on the action on the PrizePix app.
16:18Now available in the state of California.
16:22The Suns team may be shorthanded,
16:25but they're doing what their coach wanted them to do.
16:27Tonight, he wanted them to make the most of their possessions.
16:29They've done that, and win the possession battle.
16:33They've done that as well.
16:34They've only turned it over once.
16:35Well, this is one of the most improved defensive teams
16:38in the entire NBA.
16:39Without question, Phoenix,
16:41and they forced three Laker turnovers already.
16:44They've made three threes.
16:46Lakers have not made any.
16:47James.
16:48Oh, it's a throw-in to the popcorn machine.
16:50And he's going to go right to the free-throw line.
16:54This is one of those rare plays
16:56where the defender can't complain.
16:59The up fake.
17:00Whoops!
17:00Almost bricked LeBron's left arm
17:03and sends him to the line to shoot, too.
17:06James.
17:07The other night was three for four from the line.
17:10How about this right now from BMW?
17:13BMW.
17:13They built these roads as if they knew we were coming.
17:16BMW.
17:17The ultimate driving machine.
17:20So I'm going to give you a stoop.
17:21I'm going to give you some numbers.
17:23LeBron's just two three-pointers have become the second Laker with a thousand.
17:28The first and up by a wide margin is Kobe.
17:31He has one assist to pass Elgin.
17:33The seventh on the franchise list.
17:35So some big names we're talking about here tonight.
17:38LeBron moving up the ladder.
17:40He has just a normal game tonight.
17:42Here is Green.
17:43A little shake and bake.
17:45And hits the front of the rim.
17:46Good offensive rebound by Mark Williams.
17:48Green's going to go to the rim.
17:50That's too hot to handle.
17:51Take it by the Lakers.
17:52Long lead for LeBron.
17:54He's underneath.
17:55He scores.
17:56Austin gets the assist.
17:57And that's the play where LeBron challenged the first shot.
18:00His momentum kept him going the other way.
18:02And the defense did not respond.
18:04And the Lakers have been in a field goal drought.
18:06So it's good to get one right there underneath.
18:09Here's Grayson Allen.
18:10He tries to get to the rim.
18:12Saw some of the big fellas underneath.
18:14Rebound taken by Kennard.
18:16He's got a lot of dudes out there tonight who played at Duke.
18:22Luka.
18:23Yes, sir.
18:24The Don hits it from the free throw line.
18:28Use that little brush screen from A.G.
18:29Get to the free throw line.
18:31And that's his second from that distance.
18:33Lakers looking for their 19th win on the road.
18:35They are tied for the six most wins on the road in the NBA.
18:40Starting tonight.
18:44Turnover Phoenix.
18:46And look at how Luka navigates his way.
18:49Really can dissect the defense any time he wants.
18:52Little step back, free throw shot.
18:54Good shot by Luka.
18:56Well, Mark Williams picks up a couple of fouls.
18:59And he's on the bench right now.
19:01The bench makes a splash out on the court right now for Phoenix.
19:07Their bench crew, 21st in the NBA.
19:10Lakers, 29th.
19:12Lakers starters put up a ton of points.
19:15A league average of 87 a game.
19:17Got it.
19:18String music.
19:20Forget about the other night.
19:22He's on it right now.
19:23Again, he gives that little jab and defender responds.
19:28He has the space that he needs.
19:298-0 run looking for more.
19:32Luka finds Kennard.
19:35Kennard's underneath.
19:36Kicks it now out to Jake.
19:37We'll give you the five on the floor in a minute.
19:39Kennard all the way.
19:40The scoop of the score.
19:41He has been sensational going into the team and taking into the basket.
19:46And showing that he's got more in his arsenal than just the three-point shot.
19:50Higodaro holds on to it.
19:52He'll go corner.
19:54Underneath.
19:54He's got bodies colliding.
19:56And Luka coming out with it.
19:58Finding Kennard.
20:00Now it's Waravia.
20:01Jake all the way.
20:02He draws a foul.
20:03That's good movement by the Lakers.
20:05That's good extra pass.
20:07Yeah.
20:07Another look at how Luka just gets that defender to retreat a bit.
20:11Gets the space.
20:12Knocks it down.
20:13And look at how close they're running out.
20:16Kennard.
20:16He just goes right by him for the easy.
20:21Kennard, again, first in a three-point percentage this year.
20:24They're aiming for a third crowd.
20:26And here is Luravia.
20:28Single digits in three straight off the bench.
20:30More on Kennard.
20:33Well, Bill, you mentioned Kennard getting downhill and doing things outside of shooting.
20:37And, you know, naturally, he's been a great shooter his whole life.
20:40So he's pretty used to, at this point, how to rack and close out, where the open space is on
20:44the court,
20:45and how to leverage his shooting, Stu, to create all these opportunities for himself or for teammates.
20:49And it's that thing sometimes you want him to shoot more.
20:52But when he's taking advantage of the opportunities like that, it's usually producing something good for the team.
20:57Absolutely.
20:58And, I mean, the recognition is what's the important thing.
21:00And, like you said, he's been around long enough to know how to read the defense.
21:04Well, the last three possessions are more than that.
21:07Grayson Allen, who played with Kennard for two years at Duke.
21:11So Phoenix 0 for 4 in three turnovers during this stretch.
21:15And they steal it.
21:16So the Lakers turn it over.
21:20Front court.
21:21We're going to work it for Grayson Allen.
21:24Good move.
21:24Open three.
21:26He can't score.
21:28Take in.
21:29Phoenix.
21:30Hunter D.
21:31Score.
21:32Iguodaro.
21:33There is second chance opportunities to give him, though.
21:35You get that first miss.
21:38You've got to do one and out as often as possible.
21:41Rebounding Phoenix.
21:42There towards the bottom third overall.
21:45Dodge it's in very deep.
21:47Easy does it for Luca.
21:50And he can make some space for himself, Annie.
21:54So controlled, too.
21:56While he's creating.
21:58Grayson Allen.
21:59He's just bothered by some injuries.
22:01Just a good chunk of time.
22:03On the outside.
22:04That one is clanked off the back iron.
22:06And the glass.
22:08On the shot by Bouye.
22:11Now one, two.
22:12You're old stats.
22:13No.
22:14Rebound.
22:14Oh!
22:15Jackson almost tipped it.
22:15And it's tipped in by Iguodaro.
22:18And Jackson says, give that to me.
22:21Well, if he's the closest one, he gets credit for it.
22:24As Iguodaro definitely tapped it up.
22:27And he's a good bucket to Jackson.
22:29He's Allen on its way.
22:32He wasn't going to miss more than that one.
22:35Well, especially since they're so shorthanded,
22:37and he's going to be looking to be a lot more aggressive offensively.
22:40He's averaging career highs and points assists,
22:43heels, three-point field goals per game this season.
22:46He's dangerous.
22:48Reed with two and a half to play first quarter.
22:51Here on Stetson's sports net.
22:52Off the hits the heel.
22:54Goes right to the lap of La Ravia.
22:56Luca can't provide some magic on that three-point shot.
23:01Here comes Phoenix.
23:02They're looking for their 34th win of the year.
23:04Again, two games behind the Lakers starting the night.
23:08Alex, that has to be way short.
23:10Give credit to Jackson.
23:11Look at this pass.
23:13He's not allowed to punch the ball.
23:14And that's exactly what he did.
23:16You cannot have a closed hand.
23:18Austin's looking around.
23:19What did I do?
23:20What did I do?
23:21Yeah, Stu's going to tell you.
23:22Yeah, you cannot use a closed fist on the basketball.
23:26And Austin, that time he noticed Jackson Hayes,
23:29and right there he punches it with a closed fist.
23:32That is a violation.
23:33That negates the easy hoop,
23:35and the Lakers lead is only three.
23:39Here tonight making some noise.
23:41Purple and gold on top by three.
23:44Here's our Indeed scouting report.
23:47Luca against the Suns.
23:48Stu, pretty successful over the last nine, we shall say.
23:52Yeah, I'd say that's pretty good from an offensive standpoint
23:55when you're at 37.
23:57He's going to shoot a 46% clip.
23:59They're doing other things as well.
24:01Rebounding, assists, even kicks in a spiel or so.
24:04Now he's the best first quarter score in the NBA.
24:07He's got 12.
24:08The only player on either team in double digits
24:11to start this game, and he's shooting five for seven.
24:14Those are your numbers right there for Luca Doncic.
24:16He'll sit for the first time.
24:19And that's unusual.
24:20He usually plays the whole quarter.
24:22First quarter.
24:22You're right.
24:23It's a little bit different rotation.
24:26Let's see.
24:27Got a whistle on a foul on the perimeter.
24:31It's going to be on Jake LaRamia.
24:35Give him a two-hand shove to the screener that time
24:38and got caught.
24:40That's just a 13th foul on the Lakers,
24:42or shall I say the fourth team foul.
24:50Or the first team foul.
24:52We're over here.
24:52We're figuring it out.
24:54Either the scoreboard's wrong or the stat monitor.
24:57Here is Grayson Allen.
24:58What we know is that in the corner,
25:01this three's on its way.
25:02Bernard taps it.
25:04LeBron goes up the ladder.
25:05They battle for it.
25:07James has got it in the corner.
25:09After that long shot by Fleming.
25:11If he hadn't gone up to the ladder,
25:12but another offensive rebound.
25:16LeBron with his back to the basket.
25:18James, that pass that the Lakers fortunate.
25:21Marcus leans into the three.
25:23The rebound taken by Fleming
25:25took a run away from Grayson Allen.
25:28The Lakers start of the game four for seven,
25:30but they've been pretty hot ever since.
25:34And they're dominating in the paint so far.
25:37They've doubled up, Phoenix.
25:39On the other side, Iguodaro.
25:42Allen, they're looking to play through him.
25:43He's going baseline.
25:44They've only got three with two with one.
25:47That's good Laker defense right there.
25:49Up ahead for LeBron.
25:52Too far.
25:52No, he saves it.
25:54For the Arabian.
25:55LeBron behind the back.
25:57What a pass.
25:58And finish it.
26:00Luke Kennard.
26:01Good running of the floor by Luke Kennard,
26:04but LeBron didn't sell it out too soon at all.
26:07He really disguised that behind the back play.
26:09He's averaging seven assists a game.
26:12With that assist, LeBron passes Elgin Baylor.
26:15Seventh place all time in Laker history.
26:20Another milestone for James.
26:25Marcus Burr to get it across the half-court line,
26:27and he didn't do it.
26:29He's just thinking.
26:30Boy, dawdling.
26:31He got to get it across.
26:32Even though there was not a whole lot of time left in the quarter,
26:36you still got to get it across midcourt
26:37and then hold on to it for a while.
26:40So the turnover, Smart realizes he messed up.
26:45Another one of those rules, though, that I've never really understood.
26:47Okay, what would you rather have it be?
26:49Why?
26:50I mean, you got to 24.
26:50We have a 24-second clock.
26:52You can take as much time as you want.
26:53Yeah, who?
26:54It doesn't hurt the offensive team.
26:56We might get another email from Adam Silver.
27:00I welcome them all.
27:02Oh, that's a bump out on top by Smart to give the ball to Jalen Green.
27:11Shot clock is off for the rest of the quarter.
27:15And the Lakers right now are on top, 27-22.
27:18Green with LeBron in front of him.
27:21Jalen Green dancing.
27:23Loses it.
27:24Lakers have it.
27:25Well, Ravia's got some time.
27:27It's dead.
27:28It's back to Canard who throws it up with the offhand,
27:31and they never get a good shot.
27:33I mean, when they got the turnover in the middle of the floor,
27:35why not just really attack?
27:38You know you got a short clock.
27:40You can't just dawdle with it and then try to make a pass.
27:42But they end the quarter up by five after trailing by eight early in the first.

28:06Lakers shoot 61% in the quarter,
28:09although they only made one out of six threes,
28:12and they lead by five, their biggest margin of the game.
28:16Remember, Phoenix led by eight early on.
28:20LeBron as it gets knocked away.
28:22Eight to shoot.
28:23LeBron's still way away from the basket.
28:25As he's trying to work the defense,
28:27it goes all the way underneath.
28:28They can't score.
28:29Fleming did a good job.
28:30Here comes Phoenix.
28:31You know, they started the game seven out of 11,
28:34but they're two for 12 cents.
28:37In fact, they made three out of their first five threes,
28:39and they're one for their last eight from behind the arc.
28:43That one is tipped.
28:44Smart.
28:45New out of bounds.
28:46By the way, no Rui tonight under the weather.
28:49So, Rui Hachimura will not be available this evening.
28:55You talked about they made a couple of their first attempts
28:58from three-point land,
28:59but those shots were wide open,
29:00so the Lakers have since closed up some of the airspace.
29:04Yeah, very good defense for the Lakers.
29:06Higodaro's down low, short,
29:09but they get another offensive rebound.
29:12It's number four for them on the offensive line.
29:14Yeah, and that's just a bit of bad habit for the Lakers.
29:17Allen on its way!
29:20Jackson Hayes couldn't quite get out there.
29:23There's Grayson Allen.
29:26Went four years to Duke, eight years in the league.
29:31He missed five of the previous six games.
29:36He just had a streak of four straight games, scoring at least 20.
29:40He snapped.
29:41Lakers with five to shoot.
29:42They're up against it.
29:43Marcus Smart.
29:44Oh, he gets bailed out.
29:46Gets bailed out.
29:48He'll go to the line.
29:49Good stop by Marcus,
29:50because the defenders were really up in everybody's chest.
29:54So, when you're that close, quick stops,
29:56momentum carries you right into the shooter,
29:58and that's what happened there,
30:00is Marcus Smart will go to the line
30:02and shoot some free throws.
30:04And Amir Coffey, the foul.
30:06Amir was acquired in a three-team trade with Milwaukee.
30:12All right, Laker fans, you know the drill.
30:13Well, tacos are on the line tonight.
30:15If the Lakers win, you, yes, you,
30:18score two free tacos with a drink purchase
30:21from Drunk in the Box,
30:23so you'll be able to redeem tomorrow.
30:27By the way, Lakers' next game is Saturday night.
30:31Up in the Bay Area,
30:33Warriors-Lakers, no step still for Golden State.
30:36That'll be on ABC only, 5.30.
30:40That's their marquee matchup.
30:43We'll see you again on Sunday night
30:46when Sacramento, the team with the worst record
30:48in the NBA, is at crypto.com arena.
30:52Get your tickets, hope to see you there.
30:54Two free throws for Marcus Allen.
30:57Missed one of the, one of the three, obviously.
31:00Allen with Vando chasing.
31:02Now the big guy, DeAndre Aiton on him.
31:05He'll step back for Grayson Allen.
31:07That's a two-pointer right now, so he's starting to heat up a little bit.
31:10He's three out of seven overall at eight points.
31:14Still the only player in the game, the double digits, he's leaped up.
31:17Turnover.
31:18Here they are running.
31:20Gillespie.
31:22Right side Allen gets Aiton out of position.
31:25Now Aiton did close out.
31:26Here comes Gillespie for those two guys.
31:29What a bunch of three-point threats.
31:30He put Royce on, O'Neal out there, and then you really have problems.
31:35Gillespie bounce.
31:36Allen wide open.
31:38In the corner.
31:40That's Amir Coffey.
31:41He's only a 26-percenter from downtown.
31:46And they take the lead.
31:49That's just the second lead change of the evening.
31:52Early.
31:53A little bit of difficulty with nobody that, I shouldn't say nobody, but they're not beating the defensive pressure by
31:59getting into the chain.
32:00Boy, the radio has good position.
32:02That's going to be a whistle.
32:03Count it to goaltend.
32:07Boy, I tell you what, JJ was all over the officials until he heard that late whistle.
32:11So they got the call, but they wanted.
32:14Seeing the ball hit the glass first and called the goaltend.
32:18I was talking about nobody really to beat that defensive pressure from the perimeter off the dribble.
32:25That just makes that defense even more aggressive.
32:28There was a goaltend call, but they really missed the other night, Stu.
32:32They had a good look at it two, three times.
32:34It's like they goaltended twice.
32:36You want to say it like that?
32:37Airspace.
32:38Gillespie.
32:39Airspace.
32:39Gillespie.
32:40Gillespie out of Villanova.
32:42He's been their leading scorer the last two, although with just 18 and 15 points.
32:48Again, last couple of games they scored 77 and one and 81 and the other.
32:54That's it.
32:55Normally you get that after three quarters.
32:57Or maybe at the half.
32:59James.
33:00Whoa.
33:00Rosen on it spills out.
33:03Fleming clears the board.
33:05Fleming is going to get it right back.
33:07Gillespie out by the logo.
33:10Gillespie.
33:10Got it.
33:12Streaky.
33:14Timeout Lakers.
33:15The game may be streaky, but he's not streaky.
33:18Gillespie is a shooter as he gives the Suns a four-point lead with 844 to go in the half.
33:27He's pizza parlor serving up handcrafted pizza, crispy fried chicken, and famous Mojo potatoes since 1954.
33:39Performance spotlight is being brought to you by Sit and Sleep, SoCal's most trusted mattress store.
33:44And, of course, it's Luka, who had 12 points and only about 10 minutes in the first quarter.
33:49Made five out of seven, including the three-pointer.
33:53A couple of steals.
33:55Rises at the tempo, but when he and both he and Austin on the bench, hard to beat this kind
34:00of pressure.
34:01What an impeccable day here in the Phoenix area.
34:04Snowbirds making their way down.
34:06Just perfect.
34:08Now we're inside watching the Lakers.
34:11Phoenix basketball with the Lakers.
34:14Three out by four.
34:15Dodgers, he's in trouble.
34:17And it's blocked.
34:19Iguodaro.
34:20Yeah, nowhere for Luka to go.
34:21He got boxed in.
34:23All you could argue was stick his hand up.
34:25So much taller, he just blocked the flat footy.
34:28Gillespie two for two from three.
34:29Is he going to get it back?
34:31They want him to, and he does.
34:33Gillespie runs right into Dodgers with five to shoot.
34:37Gillespie hooks it into the corner.
34:39And on the line, turnover.
34:41O'Dea let me go up and get it and land it on the sideline.
34:44Lakers have to start taking more advantage of these turnovers from the Phoenix Sun.
34:49Now the Lakers have had slow starts to each quarter.
34:51First quarter, they were down 17-9.
34:54Phoenix has started this quarter outscoring of 13-4.
34:58They haven't missed with the three-point line here in the second.
35:00You know, Phoenix still has not shot a free throw.
35:05Think about that.
35:07Lakers playing good defense without fouling.
35:09That's important.
35:11Reeves had it knocked away.
35:12He's running into Gillespie.
35:14Spinning and scoring!
35:16He's staying with it.
35:17And that's called not panicking, making sure that anchor, that pivot foot is anchored.
35:22That's returning from his hammy injuries.
35:24After it over, 20 a game.
35:26Speaking of A.R.
35:28Austin Reeves, he and Luka still the highest scoring tandem in the NBA.
35:35Luka lived up to his leading score in the first quarter.
35:38Crown tonight.
35:43Austin got some contact here.
35:45I believe they're calling the foul on him as well.
35:48He's helped up by his teammates.
35:54They're reviewing this to see if this is anything malicious.
36:05So a review.
36:08First one, we'll look at our.
36:10Officiating chief.
36:12We're looking at a hostile lack for contact after the play.
36:15The foul will probably stand on Austin.
36:18But it's after the play that they're looking.
36:22If that foul does stand, that would only be the second foul committed by the Lakers tonight.
36:28LaRavia has the other one.
36:30He's trying to deny Royce O'Neal.
36:34And they got entangled there.
36:36And somehow Austin got the worst of that.
36:43All right.
36:44While we're waiting, how about this right now from Carl's Jr.
36:48For a limited time, buy one Carl's Jr. famous star single.
36:51Get a second for this one buck.
36:58Austin in the lake show.
37:01Austin used to go into the free throw line.
37:03In fact, this month he has 15 more free throws made than any other Laker.
37:10But he's trying to avoid a foul right now.
37:12We'll look at it one more time while they review it.
37:14Well, they're calling the holding foul first.
37:16There's the whistle.
37:18And I don't know where the other contact occurred other than on the holding foul.
37:22As Austin immediately grabs for the left side of his face.
37:25Now the conference ensues between the three officials.
37:31They're about ready to render their verdict.
37:33Here we go.
37:35The ruling on the floor would stand as a defensive foul.
37:38And the contact that was after that was deemed to be incidental.
37:42We would take the ball side out.
37:44Thank you, Sean.
37:47So, again, just the second Laker foul here tonight.
37:50And the first team foul of the quarter.
37:53Bench-wise, Phoenix is a plus three, 13 to 10.
37:57Although the Laker bench hasn't missed.
37:59Has not missed.
38:01They're four for four.
38:01And they've out-rebounded Phoenix.
38:05On the floor, we're going to have eight.
38:07Kennard, Donchich, Vando, and Reeves.
38:11And with 7-18 to go in the first half,
38:13the Lakers have got to really put their footprint on this last seven minutes.
38:17Really defensively get it done.
38:22And Phoenix has been blown out the last couple of games.
38:26Although they did win one a couple of games ago.
38:28Double OT.
38:29But it took a double OT to get to 110 points.
38:33And that went over Orlando.
38:37Bouye on its way.
38:39And Vando's not a good foul.
38:41And he went for the first up thing.
38:42And he knew he was going to make some contact.
38:44Tried to throw his knees away from the offensive player and twist his body,
38:50but did make contact.
38:51Jamari Bouye will be at the free-throw line where he's a 75-percenter.
38:58All right, Laker fans.

39:23You can just give a little bit of space and steal.
39:26Affect the shot.
39:34Bouye misses the free-throw, but again,
39:39they have only shot three free-throws.
39:41So he makes two out of three.
39:43Those are the first time that they've tried
39:45from the charity strike tonight.
39:47Front court.
39:48Surveying the floor right now is A.R.
39:50Austin Reeves gives it to Luka.
39:51He's got Fleming right on his head.
39:53Now Fleming trying to reach in and take it away.
39:55Lucas shoots over him for three.
39:57In and out.
39:58Heartbreak that time for number 77.
40:03The Suns bring it out of front court.
40:04They have a four-point lead.
40:08Shocker here early on,
40:09but it's Stu and Mike.
40:11They both say you've got to watch out.
40:12The injured team is a dangerous team sometimes.
40:16And that's what we've got here.
40:17No bookers, no brooks.
40:19With three to shoot, with two to shoot.
40:21Green throws up the player,
40:23and he backs it in.
40:25Bank is open after hours.
40:28And then the Lakers turn it over on the inbounds pass.
40:30And here they come again.
40:31Another three O'Neal.
40:33Look out.
40:33Look out.
40:35Time out.
40:38This is just a lack of focus completely by the Lakers.
40:42It's just not supposed to be this way.
40:46But the Suns are taking advantage of every little lax
40:50that they get the first banker to go,
40:53and then the inbounds pass stolen,
40:54and the second one by Royce O'Neal,
40:57a ten-point advantage.
41:02And it's on a play where the Lakers has to success earlier.
41:06LeBron saved the pass.
41:07Got it to the radio,
41:09who gave it right back.
41:10And look at Luke Kennard,
41:11who keeps moving.
41:12And LeBron with the behind-the-back pass.
41:14That was a beautiful setup and an easy play for Luke Kennard.
41:17Where does the Kings stand as far as assists in franchise history?
41:21He's a chase of coop.
41:24Right now he's tied with cap,
41:25and he passed Elgin tonight.
41:27Look at all those great names.
41:31Storm and Norman.
41:32They have to.
41:34Got to pick up their three-point shooting.
41:37They haven't been very successful.
41:39Well, in this quarter,
41:40they've been outscored 21-6.
41:43And they're two out of seven from the floor.
41:46Luka can't score.
41:48Rebound doing work.
41:49Jackson Hayes could not finish.
41:52But he's going to go to the line.
41:55That could be foul number three,
41:56and it is on Williams.
41:59So they're a big fella in foul trouble.
42:02Usually bad things happen
42:04when you give up second-chance opportunities,
42:05and that's what happens to the Suns.
42:10Jackson to the line.
42:11Hey, on the next backstage,
42:13Lakers assistant coach Scottie Brooke
42:14three nights with his daughter in New York
42:16while DeAndre Ayton hosts a basketball skills clinic
42:19for a group of kids
42:20with Jamaican and Bahamian roots.
42:22The trade deadline acquisition,
42:24Luke Kennard arrives in L.A.
42:25and he gets very familiar with himself
42:29and his new team.
42:30Backstage Lakers tonight
42:31after the postgame show.
42:34Two free throws.
42:37Lakers have five and some change
42:38to get back some momentum here.
42:41Phoenix is seven out of eight
42:43from the floor in the quarter.
42:45Got to buckle down on defense.
42:47They are five for five from three
42:50in the second stanza.
42:53Five to three.
42:54Illegal screens.
42:55And down goes Reed.
42:56That's the second time he and Royce O'Neal
42:58have been entangled.
43:00And this one was an easy call
43:02as O'Neal called for the illegal screen.
43:06Back and forth.
43:07There we go.
43:08By the way, rebounding is
43:09going to be a big thing.
43:11Against Boston the other night,
43:12Phoenix got out, rebounded.
43:1361 to 34.
43:15What's that?
43:16Right now, rebounds are 14 each.
43:20Got to go and get it against this team.
43:22It's available.
43:24Reeves wide open.
43:26Hesitated and then they throw it away.
43:28But it was last touch by Phoenix.
43:30Had Dunn reached around after.
43:32Austin gave him a nice fake.
43:34Didn't shorten his dribble
43:35and the defender tipped it out of his aim.
43:38Reeves 13 minutes, four points.
43:41Again, just one player on both sides
43:43and double figures.
43:44And that's Luka handling the basketball.
43:46He puts it up.
43:47Can't put it in.
43:49Dodic is now a 5-4-11 on the evening.
43:53Jalen Green still trying to get acquainted
43:55with his new team.
43:57Tapped up and in.
43:58Boy, sky and above everybody else
44:00and scoring that time was done.
44:03Quickly front court.
44:04Moravia is open.
44:06Can't score.
44:07Here they come the other way.
44:09O'Neal looks one way,
44:11then the other.
44:12Finds the man in the corner.
44:13It's Green.
44:14Puts it up and misses.
44:16Tap, no.
44:16They stay with it underneath.
44:18Now rejected Lakers.
44:20And we've got a whistle.
44:23They had some opportunities there.
44:31That's 14, or four personal fouls on Williams.
44:34Four.
44:36You've got to get him out.
44:37Oh, he's out.
44:38He's already out.
44:39Yeah.
44:40He's moving the sideline.
44:40Well, he'd say goodbye to him for the half, for sure.
44:47Again, no Dylan Brooks and no Devin Booker.
44:51Top two scores.
44:53Dylan Brooks certainly turning into a score here in Phoenix.
44:57They are trying to go to the hoop.
45:00And Phoenix might be calling for at least to check to see if he should be reviewed.
45:05It was close.
45:06Yeah, they're going to do it.
45:07It was close.
45:07They're going to do it.
45:08Definitely was close as Austin was going up.
45:11Did the ball touch his leg last?
45:13Or his hand last?
45:15Maybe his left arm.
45:16Left arm.
45:16We'll find out when we come back with the momentum all in the Sun's way.
45:21I wouldn't be surprised.
45:23Because they're huddled up.
45:24And I think they're going to award the ball to Phoenix.
45:27The call of the ball will be overturned to Phoenix ball.
45:29It is a successful challenge.
45:31And he will retain his right to challenge.
45:334-26 and 24.
45:36Stu looked into the crystal ball and he was right.
45:39So the Suns will get possession.
45:414-26 to go here in the first half.
45:44And the Lakers are sitting on 35 points.
45:47Not having a...
45:48Offensively challenged second quarter, for sure.
45:52Second quarter.
45:52They're two for 11, Stu, where Phoenix, conversely,
45:56is 8 out of 12.
45:58Although Phoenix having some issues the last few possessions,
46:02still own a 10-point lead.
46:05Hook pass goes into the corner.
46:07Right back for Allen.
46:08Coming all the way around.
46:09Good look under for Dunn.
46:11And he fits a little gimme underneath.
46:14I mean a flat gimme.
46:17He's already above his season average in points tonight.
46:20Luka gets sandwiched.
46:21Now it's LaRavia.
46:22Got it.
46:23That was a much-needed basket.
46:25Not only by LaRavia, but for the Lakers.
46:27They cut to lead to 7.
46:31And he saw the attack.
46:32And hold on to it with Jalen Green.
46:35Green needs help.
46:37Still needs help.
46:39Coming out to get it is Iguodaro.
46:42Allen.
46:43Baker should get the rebound and they do.
46:45Austin Reeves goes and gets it.
46:48Reeves, that's his third rebound.
46:51Oh, Austin all the way.
46:53And we're going to get a whistle.
46:55Dara says, why did I end up on Austin Reeves?
46:58It gives me just a little shake and bake and then go straight to the paint.
47:04Free throws.
47:05Free throws coming to Austin.
47:08Reeves.
47:08Free throw shooting on the year is an 87 percenter.
47:15Following the game of basketball, that is darn good.
47:17Hey, Laker fans, mark your calendars for this Saturday.
47:20A couple of days from now, the 28th.
47:22Bigelow Vulture presents a Laker watch party at American Junkie in Hermosa Beach.
47:26See you there starting at 530.
47:29Enjoy prize giveaways and championship trophy photo ops.
47:33Pretty cool.
47:34Visit Lakers.com for more info.
47:35Lakers Warriors watch party in Hermosa Beach.
47:40In a five-point game.
47:42So, back into the game goes Gillespie.
47:45Little 5-0 Laker mini run.
47:48Cut it into single digits.
47:50There is Gillespie.
47:51Going to get it right back.
47:53315.
47:54Blocks moving.
47:55Here at the first half.
47:57Grayson Allen bumps into Canars.
47:59Remember, they played together in college.
48:02And one's knocked out of bounds.
48:03Loose ball foul over the back of Luca.
48:07This is free throws with 3.05 left in the half.
48:11Remember, at the half, we're going to send it back to El Segundo in the halftime report.
48:17Don't leave us when this half is over.
48:19And if the Lakers lead at the end of the second quarter, Mike will be talking to Coach J.J.
48:24Redick.
48:26Now, Phoenix now has missed six out of seven.
48:31And Luca is at the line.
48:36Leading score the last three times.
48:3836 times overall this year.
48:44Time now to check in.
48:46Or for the check-in.
48:48Brought to you by Vrbo.
48:52So, seven games with the Lakers having just under double digits.
48:56But look at the disparity there.
48:58Two-point field goal shooting a lot of them and shooting them well.
49:02But again, at some point this year, he will get it going and win a basketball game or two for
49:07this game.
49:08From the defensive standpoint, I'm sure the opposition is running him off of that and making him get inside the
49:14arc a bit.
49:14If he wins the three-point title, it'll be his third crown since being in the league.
49:21Speaking of a crown, the king will be coming into the game.
49:25LeBron.
49:282.52 left.
49:30You've got Kennard, LaRavia, James, Hayes, and A.R.
49:37Actually, now, Kennard will go out.
49:41And Luca stays in the game.
49:44Here we go.
49:45With control in the backcourt.
49:48He's trying to even the season series.
49:53And they play the extra game against Phoenix because of the in-season tournament, LaRavia.
49:59Oh, boy, that was hanging on the rim for as long as it could.
50:04Done.
50:05Give it right back to Grayson Allen and running it through him.
50:09Bounce underneath and a good one.
50:11Slam dunk underneath after a pretty bounce.
50:15There's an ice cream roll.
50:17Iguodaro gets the finish.
50:18He went to Marquette for four years.
50:20Well, he's just scored four points in each of the last two games.
50:24Iguodaro.
50:25Guess what?
50:25He's got four tonight.
50:27Two free throws coming for Luca.
50:31This is one of ten games tonight.
50:34Pretty busy schedule in the NBA.
50:36Look at that basket.
50:37Iguodaro has just fundamental screen and roll.
50:40Bounce pass right in the middle.
50:43Easy play for the deuce.
50:45Iguodaro, one of those guys that his scoring average has increased every month from November till now.
50:52Luca from the line this evening is two for three.
50:55Lakers are 11 out of 14.
50:57They've shot now 12 more free throws in the opposition.
51:03Fleming is going to check back in.
51:10Look at him.
51:12Rashear.
51:13He had seven points, ten minutes the last time these two teams met.
51:17Remember, a couple days before Christmas.
51:25Remember, Luca, number one in scoring, number three in the league in assists.
51:31He's also top 15 in steals in the NBA.
51:37And he is second in three-pointers made per game.
51:41Second to Steph Curry.
51:44Here we got it.
51:45About a little over two minutes to go in the half.
51:48Maybe she'll cut it to a four-point deficit.
51:50He's ended strong.
51:51Get the lead.
51:53Allen Gillespie.
51:54Lucas in front of him.
51:57Less than two minutes now to go in the second.
52:00The last piece of the two guards playing people way out on top.
52:04Now it's Grayson Allen.
52:05Boy, what's that one a little bit?
52:06If you had time, another offensive rebound.
52:09Allen, oh, look out.
52:11Look out.
52:12Jackson's looking for verticality.
52:15Down hard when Allen.
52:19The officials are huddled up.
52:20I don't think there was anything that was there.
52:22That should just be a common foul.
52:25Yeah, Jackson was just trying to go straight up.
52:27He wins straight up.
52:28Yeah.
52:30Actually, look.
52:31Grayson Allen kind of hooked his arm underneath the armpit.
52:34And the Suns are going to challenge it, I guess, as the officials are saying.
52:38Let's review this play.
52:40We have another stoppage.
52:41Minute and 46 to go in the half.
52:43The Suns.
52:44The ruling on the floor is being challenged.
52:48Stewart's under review.
52:50Yeah, it's under.
52:50The only thing that's going to maybe get Jackson Hayes in trouble is his left hand.
52:55His left hand catches the face.
52:57Yeah.
52:57Right there.
52:59Of Grayson Allen.
53:00And if they're going to call anything that's not basketball, it's going to be where it is.
53:06Other than that, it was verticality.
53:08Here we go, Sean.
53:09The challenge on the floor is unsuccessful.
53:13There is contact, however, that contact happens after the ball is deflected.
53:18Therefore, there will not be shots on the play, and the ball will be taken side out.
53:23Well, they said the contact happened after the ball was deflected.
53:28There was plenty of contact.
53:29Whenever it was, once the ball is free, I can beat him up.
53:32You know, any time you take a timeout, you hope things work out for you.
53:37You know, it's interesting.
53:38Phoenix led 17-9 early on in the game.
53:41Lakers called a timeout, tables turned.
53:43Phoenix led by 10.
53:46Just a little bit ago, Lakers called a timeout, tables turned.
53:49So, that's what they're designed to do.
53:51Exactly right.
53:53Purposely called timeouts by JJ Reddick.
53:56Can't get a defensive board.
54:01Allen wanders into the lane.
54:03Gillespie corner, Jalen Green goes around one, goes around two.
54:08Black by Hayes from behind.
54:10Jackson, the good defensive effort.
54:12Taking it out by Reed.
54:13Luca wants it.
54:14He wants it badly, and he gets it.
54:16He's got it straight away.
54:17Guarded by Jalen Green.
54:18The Lakers are down by four.
54:21Dodge, it's three on its way.
54:23Yes, sir!
54:25Luca Magic.
54:26A minute to go in the half, Lakers have closed it within one.
54:31That trail by 10.
54:34Lakers biggest lead, six.
54:36Gillespie, shot put.
54:38Not there.
54:39LeBron had it.
54:40Luca was leaking out.
54:41Now he's gonna get it.
54:43So, Luca still got it from the bottom.
54:45Oh, can't score.
54:46Hits the heel.
54:48So, the initial pass wasn't there, but LeBron said, hey, I'm still gonna find it.
54:53So, that one's off, and it's gonna be a team rebound.
54:56Going out of bounds.
54:58The Lakers dodge one there.
54:59You just can't give a shooter like that airspace.
55:02Your screener, guy guarding the screen, has to step out.
55:05Something has to be there defensively.
55:09One-point game.
55:14Luca tonight.
55:1618 points.
55:18Six for 13.
55:20Made two threes.
55:21Four free throws.
55:22Also five, uh, make it four rebounds.
55:26They're really spreading it around as far as Phoenix is concerned.
55:30Ultra-balanced for their scoring.
55:32Not relying on any individual.
55:35Luca.
55:36In the attacking 47.
55:39Still has the dribble.
55:40Finds Reed.
55:41Austin Catt shoots.
55:42He's got it!
55:44Ring it up!
55:47That would be the last possession of the first half.
55:50Lakers could go into the locker room with the lead.
55:53Yeah, after being down double digits just moments ago.
55:58Jason Allen with four, with three.
56:01Allen goes all the way and scores!
56:04Lakers only have a second left.
56:06Luca!
56:07Not there.
56:08He practices those.
56:10Trust me.
56:12Now we'll start.
