LOS ANGELES — In one way, the wheels were set in motion for the Los Angeles Lakers’ 127-109 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday during the opening week of the season. In just their second game, the Lakers bricked shot after shot but still found a way to beat the Suns in coach Frank Vogel’s first game back in Los Angeles. Then the Lakers put together a fourth-quarter comeback in Phoenix to start the in-season tournament before later knocking the Suns out on their way to Vegas. Davis scored just 13 and James had 10 as the Lakers never played with any real juice after winning the last two games. ©2024 Los Angeles Times.
