LeBron James scored 19 points and Anthony Davis added 15, but the Lakers lost their final preseason game to the Phoenix Suns, 123-100 on Thursday.
LeBron James raced to the basket on one end. Kevin Durant swished an arcing jumper on the other. Frank Vogel, now the Suns coach, called James and Durant “two iconic figures in the game of basketball today.” And even though it was the preseason, the two on the floor together for the first time since 2018 was a fitting capper.
Phoenix used a big second half to dominate the Lakers, 123-100, their fourth loss of the six-game preseason James scored 19, Anthony Davis had 15 and six blocks in 23 minutes and Austin Reaves added 14 points. Durant, playing without fellow stars Devin Booker and Bradley Beal beside him, had 21, all in the first half. The Lakers bench struggled throughout the game, badly missing a facilitator with Gabe Vincent and Jalen Hood-Schifino both out.
