The Phoenix Suns arrived in Los Angeles to find out they are just not for real.
With the best record in the first 10 games of the early NBA season, the Suns hit reality once again as they lost 121-102 against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at Staples Center.
The Lakers scored 78 points in the paint as Andrew Bynum scored 26 points and had 15 rebounds against the small undersized Suns' big men.
Most Valuable Player of the NBA, Kobe Bryant, added 29 points in the blow out victory over the Suns.
The Lakers improved to 7-1 on the season as they head to Denver for the end of the back-to-back tomorrow night.
Allstar Pau Gasol missed his eighth straight regular season game as he continues to rehab the injured hamstring.
Josh Powell and Shannon Brown continued to show success as they combined to score 24 points off the bench.
Brown had several highlights tonight, with back to back dunks and a triple to score seven straight points in a row as he finished with 10 points.
Dangerous signs for the league, great signs for Lakers' fans as the team has someone stepping up every night, since Gasol is out and the team is winning.
"Reason they're the World Champs... don't know if they have a weakness," said Suns' Coach Alvin Gentry.
