This was not the way Shaquille O'Neal envisioned his return to L.A. This game was over in the first quarter. The Nashless Suns didn't have a chance against the NBA's best team. The Lakers starters had an early night only playing 28 minutes. Kobe scored 22 and Lamar Odom added 23. L.A. got 58 points from the bench to blitz the Suns 132-106. Things got so bad that D.J. Mbenga and Adam Morrison even played. Things were so bad that Leandro Barbosa led the Suns in scoring with 18. The Lakers looked younger and quicker than Phoenix. They pushed the ball every chance that they got and scored easy baskets. The Lakers defense gave the Suns fits all night. Phoenix struggled just bringing the ball up the court. L.A shot a ridiculous 57% from the field and 45% from 3 point land.The Lakers next game is tonight against the Denver Nuggets.
