The Suns' head coach Jordan Ott had a few choice words for the referees after his team's game against the Lakers.

The latest on the teams such as the Wizards, Suns, and Bulls linked to a potential Domantas Sabonis trade with the Kings.

As blunt as one can be, former NBA player Paul Pierce says the Lakers and the Suns don't have the intelligence to go far in the playoffs.

Deandre Ayton called the Los Angeles Lakers' win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night emotional, after spending his early years in Phoenix.

PHOENIX -- Ever since the Phoenix Suns acquired Dillon Brooks this summer, he has spearheaded a huge culture shift that has led to Phoenix completely changing its identity and surpassing all preseason expectations to this point with a 14-11 record so far.

That is, unless you're JJ Redick, because he lives for these types of situations. He got to do so today as the Los Angeles Lakers hacked out a 116-114 victory over the pesky Phoenix Suns. Those things – the collapse, the technicals, and the barbs – all happened in this game.

However, the Lakers’ porous defense as of late prompted Redick to play Vanderbilt against the Suns. The Suns dominated the Lakers in their last matchup because of their energy and sheer will, so Vanderbilt was brought in to help match that.

— The Suns went 8:05 without scoring a point. In an NBA game. They led 77-71 with 5:28 to go in the third quarter and didn’t score again until Grayson Allen hit two free throws with 9:23 to go in the fourth. They went 10:11 without a made field goal.

Games like the Suns’ loss to the Lakers on Sunday night are the ones that punch you right in the gut. They feel mucky. They feel gross. For a Phoenix team that lives on rhythm and disruption, this was one of those nights where it felt like the game was taken out of their hands by a whistle that never loosened up.
