The Phoenix Suns and LA Lakers locked horns in an intraconference regular-season game at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Monday.

The injury-depleted Clippers entered their matchup with the Lakers knowing the stakes: survive, or watch their NBA Cup hopes disappear. A Lakers win would clinch the group outright, while the Clippers needed either a Memphis loss or a statement victory to stay alive.

Luka Doncic led the early scoring effort for the Los Angeles Lakers, who lost 122-102 to the Atlanta Hawks on the road Saturday. He scored all of his points in the first half and saw limited action in the second half, playing just six minutes.

Bronny James scored seven points and added eight assists and three rebounds in the South Bay Lakers' 108-105 win over the Santa Cruz Warriors on Sunday in G League action.

The Toronto Raptors hosted the Los Angeles Lakers with one clear goal: end their five-game skid against the Purple & Gold. Their last win over L.A.

Luka Doncic scored 43 points, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a 135-118 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles while proving again he can do it all. There was no smoke curling from his fingertips, but he caught fire early Tuesday, Nov. 25.
