The outstanding performance of Ricky Rubio crowned with a 'double-double' (21 points and 10 assists) did not prevent the defeat at home of Phoenix Suns against Los Angeles Lakers (115-123), which he resolved in the final minutes thanks to his aim from the line of three.
The good start of the Suns season was experiencing a high level test before the leaders of the Western Conference. The local team gave the stature and maintained the balance throughout the match, but ended up succumbing to an opponent plagued with offensive resources.
Ricky Rubio was the top scorer of his team with the same points as Devin Booker (21), while Aron Baynes (20) again replaced the sanctioned Deandre Ayton with solvency, making it possible among all that Phoenix dominated the score in the absence of four minutes (110-109).
However, the appearance of LeBron James , who again approached the 'triple-double' (19, 11 assists and 7 rebounds), and two triples by Kyle Kuzma (23) cemented a partial of 5-14 that declined the balance of the Angelian side
During the rest of the game, the inner power of Anthony Davis (24 and 12 rebounds) was the main argument of the Lakers, who remain at the front of the West with eight victories in ten days. For their part, the Suns fall to seventh place in the Conference with a balance of 6-4.
