Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Lakers: Storylines

The Phoenix Suns didn't finish with the second-best record in the league just by chance. They're strong, deep, and hardnosed, and won't go down without a fight. Even with a struggling Chris Paul and his lingering shoulder injury, they're giving the reigning champions a lot of trouble and could end up winning this series.

The Los Angeles Lakers aren't your average 7th seed. When healthy, they have the best duo in the league in LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The problem is that they haven't been able to stay healthy, and they're now down two starters with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also out. Their health issues could cost them the season.
