On December 2, the Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns at home with a score of 108:125, ending their seven-match winning streak. The start of the match seemed smooth, but after the first quarter the team could not cope with the aggressive defense of the Suns. 22 losses became a key factor that constantly gave the opponent a chance to make quick attacks and inflated the difference in the score. By the middle of the third quarter, the gap reached 20 points, and the hosts could no longer find a rhythm to return to the game.

Luka Doncic stood out as the main stabilizing element with 38 points and 11 rebounds, but with the exception of Austin Reeves, the team did not receive enough support from the rotation. Despite this setback, the Lakers continue to hold onto first place in the Pacific Division with a solid 15-5 balance.
