Devin Booker scored 30 points, Deandre Ayton had 23 points and 16 rebounds and the NBA-leading Phoenix Suns routed the Los Angeles Lakers 140-111 on Sunday night.
Lakers: F Anthony Davis, who has been sidelined since Feb. 16 with a foot sprain, will begin on-court work and spot shooting Monday, coach Frank Vogel said. It's uncertain when Davis will ramp up his activity. Vogel called his return sometime this season a “100% maybe.” ... Davis said before the game that the Lakers would have beaten the Suns in the playoffs last season had he not been sidelined with a groin injury. “We know that. They know that … They got away with one,” Davis said.
Suns: F Cam Johnson missed his fifth straight game with a right quad contusion ... Danish guard Gabriel Lundburg, signed to a two-way contract, will not report to the Suns for two weeks because of visa issues ... Phoenix has beaten every NBA team at least once this season, the first time that's happened since 2006-07.Suns coach Monty Williams was asked before the game if he was surprised that James, at the age of 37 had scored 50 points or more in two of the last three Lakers' games.
“Scoring 25 points in an NBA game is hard. Ask anybody who hasn't done it,” Williams said. “To do what he's done the last few games, I don't even think about his age anymore. He doesn't look like he's closing in on 40. He just looks like LeBron James.”Copyright AP - Associated Press
