James has the last laugh in Suns win
The Straits Times
|December 16, 2025
The Los Angeles Lakers built a 20-point fourth-quarter lead, then weathered a furious Phoenix fightback to beat the Suns 116-114 in a bruising National Basketball Association (NBA) clash on Dec 14.

Luka Doncic scored 29 points and LeBron James added 26 for the Lakers, who unleashed a 24-0 scoring run in the second half and led 99-79 with 8:40 remaining.
The Suns responded with a surge of their own and seized a 114-113 lead with 12.2 seconds left on a three-pointer from Dillon Brooks.
A fired-up Brooks then bumped James, drawing his second technical foul of the night and an ejection.
James missed the technical free throw but was then fouled by Devin Booker on a three-point attempt and made two of three free throws with three seconds remaining to put the Lakers back in front.
