WATCH: Chris Paul Scolds Landry Shamet After He Went Coast to Coast Against the Lakers

After last season, everyone noticed the big change in the Phoenix Suns thanks to Chris Paul. They are suddenly more alive than ever and in the 2021-22 NBA season, they are currently sitting at the top of the Western Conference. In fact, they were inches away from winning the NBA championship last season, and CP3 and Devin Bookers partnership deserved the credit.

So by now, the other Suns teammate should know better than to not listen to the veteran superstar. While playing the Los Angeles Lakers, Landry Shamet got an earful from Paul because of a foolish play against the purple and gold.

Chris Paul gives Landry Shamet harsh lessons on the court

The Suns were the obvious choice of winners even before the game started. Not only because they have proved to be a better team, but also because they have the advantage of a healthy roster. Although, what did come as a surprise was that the Los Angeles Lakers really fought tooth and nail. Or at least up until the first half of the game.

The purple and gold went head to head with the Suns, giving fans hope that they could pull off the unthinkable. However, the Lakers have mastered inconsistency, and their inability to keep up the rigor in the third and fourth quarters led to their 108-90 loss to Phoenix.

And even though the Suns had DeAndre Ayton, Devin Booker, and Mikal Bridges taking care of the buckets. Chris Paul was doing his job in guiding the young teammates as he was caught scolding Shamet for going coast to coast with the Lakers in the third quarter.

Lakers continue to slide down

After facing another defeat, the Lakers record is now 16-16, and have lost three consecutive games. LeBron James finished with a 34-point performance and Westbrook had 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. But as a whole, the team had a poor shooting night.

On top of that, they have Anthony Davis‘ defense missing. Unfortunately, they have to make do without it, at least until four weeks from now. Until there is an update on his MCL injury.

Although their next matchup is against the Spurs, they desperately need that win to carry some momentum when they face the Brooklyn Nets next.
