The Los Angeles Lakers are going to have be weary of dirty play by the Phoenix Suns!

This series is over Lakers fans. You know it, Lake Show Life knows it and even the Phoenix Suns know it. See that’s the point.

The Lakers basically had the Phoenix roster in the front of the Staples Centers selling Lakers gear the way they embarrassed them. They got everything that they wanted and the bench talked more trash than LeBron James and Dennis Schroder.

The Suns are frustrated and they might take cheap shots at the Lakers from time to time. This especially goes for Jae Crowder who will have to deal with the humiliating highlights for the next few days. With LeBron and AD still trying to make back from their injuries, all it takes is one play like what Solomon Hill did to try to even the series.

Be careful going forward fellas.

Even though the superstars brought the fireworks and Dennis became the Menace again, this was a team win. Check out the unsung heroes.

Kyle Kuzma:

Folks, here’s how a player who shot 2-12 from the field can have a good game. Kuzma’s shot in still MIA but he was everywhere doing the dirty work. Kuz had 10 rebounds (3 offensive!) and 3 assists. Kyle was responsible for numerous second-chance opportunities by hustling for loose balls and playing solid defense.

Wesley Matthews:

In the final quarter, Wesley’s back to back 3 pointers was huge in keeping the Suns at bay that had the bench going crazy.

Andre Drummond:

He is becoming comfortable in his role as a rebounder and rim protector. His block of Devin Booker showed the Suns guard he was in for a long night. His 11 rebounds continues to contribute to the Los Angeles Lakers domination on the glass for the last two games.
