Phoenix Suns Fire on All Cylinders, Whip Lakers 102-90

Well, that was fun, wasn't it? The Suns broke a four-game losing streak by taking out their frustrations on a Lakers team which had thumped them Friday night, building a 27-point lead before Kobe Bryant and the Lakers clawed back to within 10 in the second half, and the Suns had to sweat it out in the end before securing the 102-90 win.
Marcin Gortat was both a workhorse and a show pony, playing 42 minutes, producing 21 points and 15 rebounds and again outperforming acclaimed Lakers big men Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol. When the Suns went to their bench, Gortat was the player they kept in the game to provide stability. Bench play was still a white knuckle affair, but the Suns held their lead through more disjointed play from their second unit.
Jared Dudley played an outstanding game as well, leading the Suns with 25 points on 9-15 shooting and making some clutch shots down the stretch when the Lakers were threatening.
The Lakers were led by Kobe Bryant's 32 points, but Bryant also committed 10 turnovers as he attempted to carry his team on his back. He pouted on the bench in the final minute as the Suns wrapped it up.
This is a rough season for the Suns and their fans, but taking the Lakers out back behind the woodshed for a whupping? That's always a welcome sight.
Read on for more on the Suns best performance of the season.....
This game started out with the Suns executing crisply on both ends of the floor and the Lakers looking lackadaisical. Gortat almost had a double-double in the first quarter, Grant Hill out-dueled Kobe 9-4 in the quarter and the Suns committed only 2 turnovers to the Lakers 7 as the Suns took a 35-19 lead.
Second quarter woes? Pssh. The Suns bench was hardly great tonight but rookie Markieff Morris carried the load with 10 points and 6 boards and the Suns extended their lead to 63-40 going into the half. Morris plays with a swagger that can't be taught. He only shot 2-11 tonight but he showed flashes of his potential and played a key role as the Suns pulled away tonight.
It certainly helped that Lakers starters Derek Fisher and Metta World Peace combined for 0 points in the half (2 in the game) and the Lakers made 0 3-pointers. The Suns also took it to the hole hard, drawing fouls and making 18-19 FTs.
Of course the Lakers were going to make a run, and it started in the middle of the 3rd. Kobe tried to take over the game, as the rest of his team was impotent, and scored 9 in a 15-4 Lakers run to close the quarter. But the Suns defense swarmed him and his turnovers persisted. If Kobe hates the Suns and uses that as motivation, it looked to have turned right back on him tonight.
At 88-77 with 7:22 remaining, Alvin Gentry put Nash, Dudley, Hill and Frye back in the game. The Suns immediately went to Frye inside coming out of the timeout and Frye converted an and 1. Due to the Suns lead-blowing ways, it wasn't exactly sealed then, but they were able to take the air out of the ball a bit and let Kobe try to play Superman on the other end to hold on for their first win over the Lakers since 2010.
Keys to the Win
- Suns 11 turnovers, Lakers 18
- Suns 7-20 from 3, Lakers 3-18
- All Suns starters scored in double figures except for Steve Nash; he's such a slacker. But he did dish 14 assists.
- Gortat 21 points and 15 rebounds, Andrew Bynum 16 and 10, and Bynum sat down the stretch for some reason.
- Derek Fisher had 0 points, 1 assist and 1 turnover in his 18 minutes. He's merely an ornamental PG at this point in his career.
- Metta World Peace has plummeted from being an effective player who's a little crazy to now being a terrible NBA starter. He looks as if he doesn't know his role and is disengaged. He's not long for a starting job.
- Jared Dudley was a man on a mission tonight. As he grows into a team leader, it's important that his play rights the ship when things are going wrong, and tonight he did exactly that.
This was an enjoyable win. Can the Suns build off of it, or was it a one-time deal? Regardless, beating the Lakers any time, anywhere, in any condition is something to celebrate.
Update 2/19/12 10:20PM MST: Kobe was pouting for real at the end of the game and he threw a tantrum in the locker room. Per Bob Baum of Yahoo Sports:
Afterward, Bryant lashed out at the Lakers’ front office over the issue of whether teammate Pau Gasol will be traded. Bryant used a couple of profanities and said it’s not fair to Gasol to try to play while wondering where he will be the following day.
Bryant said he doesn’t want Gasol to be traded but “if they’re going to do something I wish they would just … do it. If they’re not going to do it, come out and say you’re not going to do it.”
Kobe genuinely hates losing to the Suns.

nice win tonight...
they still aren’t shooting great, but managed to hit enough 3’s early, to roll up a decent number of points..
The key for me is that over the last many games, we have seen this team come out with pretty good offensive execution in the first quarter, but for various reasons, have not turned that into big leads, whether it was because way too many offensive rebs allowed (houston) or crazy turnovers (in LA). Tonight they managed to pull away large in the first quarter, and had a decent start to the second period with the bench on the floor, and so they managed to build enough of a lead that even with some serious white knuckle time in the 4th, managed to pull out a decent win.
bench scoring is still a huge issue…..tonight Morriss and Redd put up some serious bricks, and shot pretty poorly again, and had a sequence at around the 8 minute mark in the 4th when 3 or 4 shots were put up that barely got rim..That is not exactly confidence inspiring.
They need to continue to roll more starters with the bench somehow to limit the damage there, till they can find a reliable alternate scorer. I am not opposed at this point to seeing more, gulp, of Shannon, who seems to be one of the few that we can kind of count on, to score a bit while not being a serious defensive liability….
But always nice to see the Lakers go down, and with a nice win by my canucks, will go a long way to getting a good nights sleep.
Added update.
Disgruntled Kobe. Hee hee.

He stayed in, but he could barely throw it to the basket on his last two free throws.

Tonight
may have been the best game I’ve ever seen Dudley play. He was knocking down 3’s, getting to the basket, had a few slick passes to cutting teammates, and active on defense (stripped the ball from Kobe, swatted Bynum’s shot from behind). Games like this make me wonder if he actually could be a starter on a good team (the average talent of the rest of the roster would still probably need to rise for this to happen though).
Tom Leander doesn't understand what "rock bottom" means.
He did have a fantastic game

Good job by the Suns. Maybe this is the spark they need.
Joe Saunders: "They Giants played a really good game, so hats off to us"
That was awesome.
Jared Dudley was a man on a mission tonight.
I said this same thing to DIM during the game. It was awesome to watch him tear them apart. This is what I expected from him early in the year (not 25 points, but some of the more clever drives and finishes that he missed early on).
I like the face-up game Kieff has been showing recently. He still has a ways to go in the finishing department, but he’s making nice moves and is showing the ability to take opposing bigs off the dribble.
Metta World Peace has plummeted from being an effective player who’s a little crazy to now being a terrible NBA starter. He looks as if he doesn’t know his role and is disengaged. He’s not long for a starting job.
He doesn’t know his role because he doesn’t really have one. He is just a terrible offensive player. He can’t shoot, dribble or pass anymore. He’s a train wreck.
Bynum sat down the stretch for some reason.
I should probably go back and re-watch it to make sure, but could this have been because Gortat was tearing him apart in the P&R? As good as he is, he cannot move very well. A team with an excellent P&R can exploit him all night.
Channing looked pretty good tonight. He actually squared his shoulders and set his feet on a lot of his shots. I think I correctly called good or bad nearly every shot he took. That driving &-1 was nice, and the guys on the call were right that he’s been trying to incorporate that into his game more over the last several games.
Once again, Grant did a tremendous job on Kobe. Is there anyone else who makes you work as hard for your shots as he does? Kobe was getting so frustrated. It was awesome. And I think he’s found his legs for good, as he’s locking down on defense and providing efficient play on offense as well.
… That’s all I have for now. Awesome, awesome win. Go Suns.
Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!

I noticed this as well. This game especially, it seemed like his first step was more explosive than usual and it worked getting him to the hole and drawing fouls. Still needs to work on finishing like you said but I was very impressed by his aggressiveness tonight.
BAMF goes HAM.
Bynum
he seemed to play effectively, but the Lakers didn’t really start chipping away at the lead until they sat him down. Maybe Mike Brown figured that since Kobe was going to take every shot anyways they may as well go small so they could turn up the tempo…
Yeah, you're correct with the reason Bynum sat
But he was scoring himself, too, and rebounding like crazy. Keeping him out of the game just meant Kobe had to try to do even more due to the lack of Bynum’s offense.

I never accused Mike Brown of being a good coach.
But perhaps he hoped putting someone more mobile at C would slow down and perhaps stop our P&R thereby putting a halt to our offense, while he still had Kobe on his end. It didn’t work (yay!).

They definitely shouldn’t have had Kapono in. We burned him several times. And they just left him in. Horrible coaching. Looking at their season, I’m starting to think Mike Brown was only successful due to Bron.

Kobe and Bynum's sheer will and Brown's defense will not let that happen.

Good win.
Dudleys play was big. Nash is a genius. Gorat really is a solid player.
I think the Lakers should trade Gasol if they can get younger and get the same value back. Kobe, Gasol and Fisher are all 32+, they need to get something done.
What was great!
Great game! Dudley was incredible, and Gortat as strong as ever. Also impressed by Morris, even though his shooting was bad in the second half. Man it feels good to win over those bastards!

Well, they could go to Matt Barnes but....
Granted, Brown’s options at small forward hardly look promising. Matt Barnes negates his efficient cutting and energy with ill-advised three-pointers and overly aggressive fouls.

Great win, Gentry definately worked his rotations better in this game. I like how he weaved in his starters with the second unit. Seemed to help keep things balanced. My favorite part of the game was Morris attacking the basket. He’s a handfull down there and draws fouls almost everytime he got positioned down there. I’d like to see more of that down the stretch. The next 2 home games are very winable. We can close the half with 3-game win streak. I think we’re 5 games out of the playoffs, maybe be able to make an exciting run at the 8th seed.

I don’t think Mike Brown has the respect of his players.
We know MWP had/has issues with his rotations and I’m sure he’s not the only one in the locker room questioning his coaching.
I feel he put the starters in for so many minutes not because he thought there was a chance to win but rather because he didn’t want the loss to be so bad and reflect on his resume. I don’t know what’s the regular season record for a loss but the Lakers looked like setting a new one after the first half. Surely if it was a bigger blowout, more embarrassment would be brought to the franchise under Mike Brown’s tenure.

Did we really score only 39 second half?
I read 63 in the 1st – man, what drop off!
They took out Bynum for most of the half
That is probably the biggest difference.He gets ABUSED on the P&R
