The Los Angeles Lakers opened preseason with a 103-81 loss to the Phoenix Suns in Palm Desert, California's Acrisure Arena on Friday. The Lakers never really recovered from there, with numerous players enduring rough shooting nights, including Bronny James, who made just 1-of-12 shots (1-of-8 from three). He did make 5-of-6 free throws en route to eight points, five rebounds and two assists. For the Suns, Devin Booker led the way with 24 points, while Grayson Allen added 13. Overall, this was an ugly loss for the Lakers, but it's only preseason after all, and L.A. didn't have its full roster.
