The Eastern Conference semifinals will take place at 3 p.m. MST on Thursday.
The Suns have lost twice to the Lakers this season. Both times were without Devin Booker, but the Suns blew big fourth quarter leads in both.
In the second game of the year, LA defeated Phoenix 100-95 despite 39 points from Kevin Durant.
Now, the Suns have a chance for revenge against LA with a trip to Vegas on the line.
