The LA Lakers entered the season with championship ambitions, but the best team in the NBA at the moment showed them where they belong.
Although still without the team leader, Chris Paul, Phoenix blew away the "lakes" and won 140:11. The 1st quarter was particularly impressive, in which Monti Williams' players scored as many as 48 points!
An interesting detail was from the 3rd minute, when LeBron James did not want to return to defense after two "airballs" by Russell Westbrook.
Devin Booker finished the match with 30 points, Deandre Ayton scored 23, with 16 rebounds, Mikel Bridges 18...
James was the best for the visitors, of course, with 31 points, Carmelo Anthony scored 18.
The Suns are first in the table with a score of 54:14, and their closest followers, the Golden State Warriors, are far behind with 47:22.
Tre Young scored 47 in Atlanta's victory over Indiana (131:128), while Luka Doncic led Dallas to a triumph in Boston (26:95) with 92 points, eight rebounds and assists. The hero, however, was Spencer Dinwiddie, who scored a three-pointer with nine seconds left.
