Lakers Look to Shine Under the Bright Lights of Crypto.com Arena Against Suns

As the Los Angeles Lakers gear up to face the Phoenix Suns at the Crypto.com Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent trend of success. The Lakers have shown a remarkable ability to maintain leads and edge out victories in tight contests, as evidenced by their nail-biting one-point win over the Toronto Raptors. In that game, they demonstrated offensive prowess with a 54 percent field goal rate and an impressive 44 percent from beyond the arc.

The team's resilience was on full display against local rivals, the LA Clippers. Despite turnovers being an issue with 19 lost possessions, they managed to secure a win thanks to shooting over half of their attempts from the field successfully and converting 38 percent of three-pointers into points.


Against Memphis Grizzlies, however, it was a different story. The Lakers fell short despite putting up strong numbers offensively; they shot nearly 50 percent from the field and added 20 fast break points. Yet defensively, they allowed too many open shots which led them down by as much as 16 points during playtime.


The upcoming match promises excitement with both teams bringing solid offensive tactics to court. The Suns will be looking for victory away from home while Lakers aim for another successful outing in front of their fans at Crypto.com Arena.


Fans can catch this thrilling encounter live on TNT (channel 245) or attend in person at Crypto.com Arena on January 12th at 7:00 PM Pacific Time (US/Pacific).
