While they were shorthanded due to Bradley Beal and Devin Booker injuries, the Phoenix Suns suffered a brutal 4th quarter collapse against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Suns held a 12-point lead heading into the final 12 minutes.
However, in the 4th quarter, the Suns managed to produce only 11 points on offense, as the Lakers finally devised a way to somewhat contain Kevin Durant.
Kevin Durant was the Suns only 20+ point scorer, he had 39.
During a seven-minute stretch in the 4th, Phoenix struggled to put a single point on the board, resulting in the Lakers taking their first lead of the game.
Naturally, reactions across social media were consistent in their shock and disappointment.

Tough to win without @DevinBook & @RealDealBeal23 @KDTrey5 was unstoppable but ran out of gas, @KingJames played his cards right and saved his energy for the 4th to close it out.
See y’all in Phoenix on Saturday @Suns 😉
