PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns dominated the Los Angeles Lakers Tuesday night, securing a decisive 132-108 victory fueled by Dillon Brooks’ impressive 25-point performance. Devin Booker added 21 points and 11 assists as Phoenix pulled away in the second half.

The Lakers, missing star Luka Doncic (lower leg contusion), saw the return of Austin Reaves from a calf strain, who contributed 17 points off the bench. LeBron James led Los Angeles with 23 points, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Lakers’ second consecutive loss.

Phoenix took a 10-point lead into halftime, but exploded in the third quarter, outscoring the Lakers 45-29 and shooting a scorching 72.7% from the field. Brooks led the charge with 12 points in the quarter and finished the game shooting 10-of-15 from the field, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. All five Suns starters scored in double figures. Mark Williams had 18 points and nine rebounds, and Collin Gillespie added 16 points.
