Luka Doncic scored 13 points as L.A. ended the first quarter on a 23-4 run, and they have a 31-15 lead over Phoenix. Doncic outscored the Suns himself when he hit third triple at the two-minute mark when the Lakers were up 28-11, and the Lakers' largest lead was 20 in the first quarter's closing minutes.

The Lakers are ahead 83-71 after three quarters, even though their shooting has become lukewarm. Doncic was just 2-of-7 in the third period, but he's still the game's leading scorer with 28 points, and Hayes is second on the Lakers with 19 points.
