Lakers used balanced effort to beat Suns 102-96

Phoenix (AP)— There was no one-man show for the Los Angeles Lakers this time.

Kobe Bryant got plenty of help in an intense 102-96 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.

All five Lakers starters scored at least 15, led by Bryant’s 20 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists—along with seven turnovers.

The Suns rallied from 15 down in the second half and led briefly early in the fourth quarter before the Lakers pulled ahead for good.

“We played with a lot of poise,” Bryant said. “They got back into it but we never really got rattled. We just had to execute and take what the defense gives us.”

Los Angeles had lost three of four overall and four in a row on the road.

“At some point we have to step it up,” the Lakers’ Pau Gasol said. “I think it was a perfect opportunity for us tonight to step it up and play a good game and have a nice win and get ourselves going, because we have been kind of struggling for the most part, especially on the road.”
