The Lakers attempt 26 more foul shots than Phoenix and make 21 more in a 122-111 victory that includes big scoring nights from Anthony Davis, D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves.
LOS ANGELES — On Wednesday night, the Lakers heard no sweeter sound than a whistle.In the next few weeks, the Lakers might just be built best to play ugly: Against the Phoenix Suns , they pushed it to an entirely new level with a season-high 46 free-throw attempts in a 122-111 victory, their second straight.
Overall, the Lakers attempted 26 more free throws than the visitors and made 21 more of them. There’s a well-known rivalry between Suns point guard Chris Paul and chief official Scott Foster that was sure to be stoked anew after the game – Paul has complained before that Foster shows bias against his teams – but the Lakers weren’t complaining.
Fresh off of 46 points in his previous game, All-Star Devin Booker scorched the Lakers in the second half with 25 of his 33 points, finding a rhythm in his jumper after primary defender Jarred Vanderbilt struck foul trouble. The Suns needed Booker to be hot, with Paul facing foul issues of his own, and the team down Kevin Durant and Deandre Ayton to injury .
