LOS ANGELES (AP) — Devin Booker scored 22 of his 47 points in a phenomenal first quarter, and the Phoenix Suns won their first playoff series since 2010, eliminating the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers with a 113-100 victory in Game 6 on Thursday night.

Jae Crowder scored 18 points for the second-seeded Suns, who won three consecutive games to send LeBron James to a first-round series loss for the first time in his 18-year NBA career.

Surprised the NBA didn’t job the Suns as usual. Suns have been for real all year.

Only thing I don’t like is them playing games in mile high Denver next round.

[Enterprise]

I didn’t watch the game, but it didn’t help the Lakers chances when Davis only played 5 minutes and scored zero points.

[Az Joe]

Yeah well the Suns lost Paul for 2 games. Other wise the Suns might have swept LA. LA is punk ass & overrated.

[Enterprise]

I don’t disagree at all!

[Americannae1362]

The NBA is dead to me.

Butt hurt LeFlop headed straight to the locker room, while the rest of his teammates congratulated the Suns.

The NBA is dead to me.

Luka has been impressive, but Cuban and Mavericks management don't know how to build a team around him. They've already wasted 3 years of his career. He'll be joining Anthony Davis and the Lakers in 3 years. Mavericks have had a hard time attracting quality free agents.

What little I follow in the NBA are those who played for Gonzaga. Rui Hachimura had two good games against the 76ers, something to build on for the future. I saw him taking the shots that made him a star for the Zags, his midrange jumpers are unstoppable.

Maybe Lebron ought to concentrate on something he is supposed to be good at...playing basketball.

Ahhh my heart bleeds chunky peanut butter for la fraud

[Veggie Todd]

LaBum will blame it on Whitey. Or Cops. Or White Cops.

[equaviator]

Go swimming, Lakers.

[Joe Boucher]

yes and LeBron deserves to become an American pariah.
Mookabooker that he is.

[USS Alaska]

I didn’t watch the game,

I haven't watched pro hoops since the Danny Ainge era of Boston vs LA, but I am happy that lebron went down the chute.

I wonder what the stats are for TV eyeballs on the pro hoopsters?

Nah, I don't care enough to look them up.

[Deplorable American1776]

Now we have to listen to LaBoring Jerk tell us how we are racist more, since he is out of the playoffs...

The Nets are good... They got rid of the Celtics... (My team, thou I haven't watched the TBA (Thug Basketball Association) in 10+ years...

Trump curse.

[Alas Babylon!]

Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck!

[tennmountainman]

Who cares?

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

The reason he has been running his mouth so much lately is that he knows he is old and washed up.
