If playing their hated rivals is what it takes to bring out the Suns’ A game, then tonight’s tussle at US Airways Center, 201 East Jefferson Street, should be a good one. The Kobe Bryant-led Lakers will be coming to Phoenix looking to avenge last November’s loss, and the hometowners will need to play a great game just to keep it close. If past history can be trusted, that’s exactly what will happen.
