Phoenix Suns Vs. Lakers NBA Playoffs Game 2: How To Watch

PHOENIX, AZ— The Phoenix Suns' first appearance in the NBA playoffs in 11 years got off to a solid start Sunday.

That's because the Suns, who earned the second seed in the eight-team Western Conference playoffs, rolled past the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, 99-90, in Game 1.

The Suns earned the win at downtown's Phoenix Suns Arena Sunday, thanks to a 34-point performance from guard Devin Booker, in combination with a 21-point, 16-rebound outing for former University of Arizona forward Deandre Ayton.

Phoenix's defense also came up clutch on Sunday, holding a hard-charging Lakers offense to 26.9 percent from behind the three-point arc, with Los Angeles connecting on seven of its 26 attempts in the contest.

Fast-forward 48 hours, and the two sides will be back on the court in Phoenix, with the Suns looking to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Here's what you need to know about Tuesday night's Game 2 of the Western Conference playoffs:

How to Watch: Tuesday's contest will be aired on TNT Network at 7 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.

Who to Watch: For the Suns, keep an eye on Booker, who averaged 25.6 points per game this season. Additionally, it'll be interesting to see if veteran guard Chris Paul, who was limited to seven points in Game 1, thanks to suffering a stinger in his shoulder, can match his year-to-date scoring output. Paul averaged 16.4 points and 8.9 assists per game for Phoenix during the 72-game regular season.

For the Lakers, keep an eye on ... LeBron James. James missed 27 games during the regular season this year, after suffering a high ankle sprain earlier this season. James scored 18 points in Sunday's Game 1 defeat, after averaging 25 points per game during the regular season.

Additionally, keep an eye on Lakers forward Anthony Davis, who scored 13 points and pulled down seven rebounds on Sunday.
