Scorching Suns Stun Lakers
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jason Richardson scored 34 points and the Phoenix Suns hit the second-most 3-pointers in NBA history to hold off the Los Angeles Lakers 121-116 on Sunday night. The two-time defending league champions lost their second in a row and first at home this season.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Steve Nash added 21 points and 13 assists, Channing Frye had 20 points, and Hedo Turkoglu had 17 points for the Suns, who beat the Lakers at Staples Center for the first time since Jan. 17, 2008.
The Suns were 22 of 40 from 3-point range, just missing the league record of 23 set by Orlando against Sacramento in January 2009.
Their 3s were the most by a Lakers' opponent in franchise history, bettering their own previous record of 19 in 2005.
