**Los Angeles, CA** – The Los Angeles Lakers mounted a remarkable comeback on Friday night, erasing a 22-point deficit to defeat the Phoenix Suns 123-116. This marks the Lakers’ first 2-0 start to a season since 2010-2011.
Anthony Davis led the Lakers’ charge with 35 points, while LeBron James contributed 21. The Suns’ hot start, fueled by Kevin Durant’s 30 points, evaporated in the second half as the Lakers tightened their defense.
“We were letting them get out in transition, we were turning the ball over early,” said Davis, highlighting the Lakers’ defensive adjustments as key to their victory. “They had 14 points in transition in the first seven minutes of the game, that’s not us.”
The Lakers’ comeback began in the third quarter with a 9-0 run, culminating in an 83-81 lead. They pushed the advantage to as many as 12 points before securing the impressive win.
