Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis have faced the media’s wrath all season. While Davis has struggled with injuries, Westbrook has not had the best of starts. On the other hand, LeBron James has had one of his best seasons in terms of scoring.

James averages 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game this season. Although he has been brilliant individually, he has received little or no help from his teammates. During the latest matchup against championship favorites Phoenix Suns, the team clearly struggled.

The team was without their star man LeBron James that helped the Suns breeze past them in a 121-110 win. Devin Booker continued his brilliant form all season as he posted 32 points for the night. Moreover, this victory makes their record 63-16 for this season. Interestingly enough, their record is better than the Memphis Grizzlies who have the second most wins in the league.
