The Los Angeles Lakers look to even it up at one game apiece vs. the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.
Despite being the lower-seeded team, the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers looked out of sorts in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against the division rival Phoenix Suns.
No. 2-seeded Phoenix took Game 1 over Los Angeles 99-90 on Sunday afternoon. LeBron James was a non-factor in the fourth quarter, and Anthony Davis was largely neutralized all game. Devin Booker and the Suns did not look afraid of the moment or of the Lakers. However, this is King James’ team, and the Suns had not been to the NBA Playoffs for over a decade prior to this.
Here is what you need to know to watch the Lakers take on the Suns in Game 2 of the series.

TNT will have the national telecast of this Western Conference playoff game between a pair of Pacific Division rivals. The available live streams for this game can be found on TNT Overtime and on fuboTV.
All the pressure is on L.A. If the Lakers head back to Staples Center down 0-2 in this best-of-seven series, that would not bode well for their chances of advancing to the Western Conference semifinals. However, James is the one player in the league today capable of overcoming a massive deficit to advance. He has won an NBA Finals down 3-1 to the 73-win Golden State Warriors in 2016. It could happen again.
Be sure to tune into TNT on Tuesday night to not miss a second of Lakers at Suns playoff action.
