Phoenix — The Los Angeles Lakers dropped another nail-biter on Friday night, falling to the Phoenix Suns after a last-second basket by forward Royce O’Neale.
With the game tied in the closing moments, O’Neale corralled an offensive rebound and converted the put-back, giving the Suns the decisive points and sending the Lakers to another painful loss in Arizona.
The setback marked yet another close defeat for Los Angeles, which has struggled to finish tight games this season. Phoenix protected its home floor, while the Lakers were left to regroup as their road trip continued.
No additional details were immediately available following the final horn.
