Lakers vs Suns live stream: how to watch online, kickoff time, and more

The 17 times champions bounced back hard in the second game, after dropping the first game against the young Phoenix Suns team. The Lakers looked fatigued and dismantled after the first game of the series but they came back strongly in the second game-tying the series 1-1. Here we will share all the details of the Lakers vs Suns Live stream, Kickoff time, and many more. So stick with us.

Los Angeles Lakers had to answer few questions after their dismal performance in the first game. And they exactly did that. Their two stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis did not perform well in the first game but they vowed to do better in the upcoming games. So both of them stepped up bigtime and contributed to the victory of the Defending champions. They have seemingly righted the Lakers ship, with Davis coming up with a dominant performance, scoring 34 points, which included 10 rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks. While LeBron also showed his class scoring 23 points on the night.

As far as the Phoenix Suns are concerned, their task has gotten bigger, with their talisman Chris Paul struggling with the apparent shoulder injury. The 36 years old veteran played only 23 minutes in the second game, before limping off in the fourth quarter. It is a huge loss for the Arizona team and now they will have to play out of their skin to topple their counterparts. The head coach Monty Williams is hopeful that Chris Paul will be ready for the third game of the series and also in the absence of the former, the rest of the roster will step up and contribute to the success of the Suns.

What to expect from the Lakers?

The Lakers will be running high on confidence, after their win in the second game. And now the two teams will head to the Staples center for the next two games of the series. The Lakers will be playing in front of their fans for the first time this season. And every NBA fan knows, how dangerous Lakers are in front of their fans.

The plus point for the Lakers has to be the display of their two stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the previous game. James seemed to be fit after suffering a slight ankle sprain from the first game, scoring important clutch points when needed by the team. While the big-man Anthony Davis recovered from his miserable showing in the first game, scoring game-high 34 points in the second game. Davis took all the responsibility for the first game loss and vowed to show better performance in the upcoming games and he did exactly that.

The Lakers head coach praised the intent of Davis and said while talking to the media, “Davis did not settle much for the Jump shot in this game. He rolled hard and had the intent to attack the paint”.

Bench strength

It is a real good sign for the Lakers while moving forward in the playoffs but one thing that the Lakers lack is the bench production. L. A has only been able to muster 13 points from that section of the roster. And their fans will be hoping that the substitute Kyle Kuzma and others will step up in the coming games when needed.

And another good omen for the Lakers is the current form of their German International Dennis Schroder. Schroder scored 24 points on Tuesday night and was in charge of the bulk of scoring for the Lakers in the First half.

Phoenix Suns Fate

The focus now has been turned on the health of Chris Paul. The 12 times All-NBA star injured his shoulder in the first game while competing for the paint point with Anthony Davis. The 36 years old went off the court and returned in the fourth quarter on the night. But did not look very comfortable as was apparent in the second game as well. He played only 23 minutes in the second game and was able to score only six points with his five shots in the whole match. 

With Chris Paul in doubt for the next game, there is an increased responsibility on the shoulders of Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. Booker has scored a total of 65 points in the first two games of his playoffs career. 

While big center Deandre Ayton has been impressive as well, scoring 22 points in his last outing. One big booster for the Suns has been the substitute Guard Cameron Payne. Payne came in the second half and scored 19 points which included a buzzer 3 pointer at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Phoenix had tied the game in the fourth quarter with 7 minutes remaining in the clock. But the Lakers had enough gas in the tank to overpower the Suns. one of the biggest disadvantages for the Suns has to be the size difference. Only Deandre Ayton matches the physicality of the Lakers’ James, Davis, and Marc Gasol, who all are 6ft 9 inches. While moving forward in the series, this size disadvantage for the Suns will prove crucial in determining their fate.
