Emma Stone is present and accounted for the Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Lakers game. LeBron James and Kevin Durant are battling it out in the Crpto.com Arena. So far, it looks like a one-sided battle, though. But this is the Lakers we are talking about. LeBron might just go on a rampage and seal the deal in their favor.
For now, going into the fourth quarter, the Suns are leading 110-80 (at the time of writing). An Arizona native, Stone’s loyalty lies with the Suns, naturally. But watching her sitting courtside with a cap that has ‘PHX’ on the front has fans going berserk on X (Twitter).

Another fan puts a hilarious spin on the whole situation. He is pretty sure that Devin Booker is locked in after seeing Stone sitting courtside.

Well, the Suns Nation’s belief certainly paid off. And @bwhite91 above looks to have made the right choice tonight, betting on the Suns. The Lakers had yet another (running out of words here) awful loss. Scoring just 109 against the Suns’ 127, the latter got their first win of the season against King James and Co.

The Purple & Gold were just coming off a two-game winning streak. Unfortunately, Phoenix dominated the game early on. Six minutes into the game, the Suns already had a 24-14 lead. It continued well into halftime, finishing with a 66-52 advantage.
Bradley Beal led the scorers with 37 points, while Devin Booker closely followed with 31 of his own. Kevin Durant contributed 18 points, five assists, and rebounds each to seal the deal. The Lakers, on the other hand, had D’Angelo Russell in the lead with 19 points. James played just 24 minutes, scoring 10 points, nine assists, and five rebounds in the process. Anthony Davis seemed to have a down phase, as he was limited to just 13 points in 32 minutes of game time. The Phoenix Suns finished each round with a comfortable win at a 127-109 scoreline.
Anyway, it just wasn’t the Lakers’ night. It has been a common theme this season. But dwelling on losses does not benefit anyone.
