The Los Angeles Lakers looked to bounce back from their season opening loss to the Houston Rockets. The Lakers headed to the US Airways Center to take on their Western Conference foes in the Phoenix Suns. Despite losing Julius Randle to a broken tibia last night, Byron Scott hoped to turn a new leaf and get his first regular season win as Lakers head coach. Scott started Jeremy Lin, Kobe Bryant, Wesley Johnson, Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill. Check out tonight’s highlights below:
