"Lakers Rally From 29-Point Deficit Against Suns, Open Season 2-0 for First Time Since 2010"

Historic Comeback Leads to Lakers' Second Straight Victory

The Los Angeles Lakers overcame a 29-point deficit against the Phoenix Suns on Friday, storming back in the second half to secure a 122-113 victory. The win marks the first time the Lakers have opened a season 2-0 since 2010, and it comes after a convincing victory over the Sacramento Kings in their season opener.

The Lakers trailed by 15 at halftime and faced a 29-point deficit in the third quarter before mounting their comeback. The rally was sparked by a combination of stellar defense and efficient offense, as the Lakers forced the Suns into turnovers and made a number of key shots to chip away at the lead.

LeBron James Leads the Charge for Lakers

LeBron James, who had an off night shooting the ball, led the Lakers' comeback with a triple-double, finishing with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. Anthony Davis scored 28 points with 11 rebounds, while Dennis Schroder added 24 points off the bench.

The Lakers made a number of key plays down the stretch to secure the victory, including a three-pointer by James that gave them a 113-111 lead with less than two minutes remaining.

Lakers' Defense Shines In Second Half

The Lakers' defense was instrumental in the comeback, as they held the Suns to just 16 points in the third quarter and forced 22 turnovers in the game.

The victory is a major statement for the Lakers, who are hoping to contend for an NBA championship this season. It shows that they have the resilience and talent to overcome adversity and that they can win games even when they don't play their best.

The Lakers will look to continue their winning ways when they host the crosstown rival Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.
