The Phoenix Suns blew out the Los Angeles Lakers 127-109 in LA on Thursday night led by Bradley Beal’s 37-point game.
The Lakers are now 5-11 since winning the In-Season Tournament and currently sit in the 10th seed in the Western Conference.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to Phoenix’s statement win over the Lakers.
What a great win for the Suns tonight. They bludgeoned the Lakers from start to finish. Hopefully proved to themselves what they are capable of. Beal was special – that was the game we all were waiting to see from him. Book amazing 1st half. Now let’s see if they can build off it

It is just inconceivable both LeBron James & Anthony Davis would fail to show up vs Kevin Durant & Devin Booker & Bradley Beal. Bron & AD just weren’t into it tonight and their Lakers got blown out at home. They won the Cup, beat the Clippers & OKC but tonite, no showed.

It’s always a good day when the Suns beat the Lakers.

As loud of boos as I’ve heard this season as the Lakers lose 127-109. Wasn’t close to being that close. Lakers now 19-20 on the season

I have lost every ounce of hope for this Lakers team. No star is gonna request a trade and come save us and the trades that are available right now aren’t moving the needle at all. I’m sorry but it’s over

Lakers are gonna fall below .500 again and the trade talks/rumors are gonna heat up even more after this blowout.

Lakers getting absolutely embarrassed at home by the Suns. Thankfully, Darvin Ham pointed out that the NBA season is a marathon and that Lakers fans shouldn’t be living and dying with every game. All good even though the Lakers are going to be under .500 midway through the season

Nights like tonight are why people hate the Lakers 5-Out offense, and why some think that’s the problem.
