With both Anthony Davis and Lebron James making their pre-season debuts for the Los Angeles Lakers, they beat Phoenix Suns 112-107. The LA Lakers were trailing 69-83 by the end of the 3rd quarter, yet another Kyle Kuzma show helps them register a successful comeback. It wasn’t only Kuzma. But Talen Horton-Tucker had a big impression on the game again as he knocks down 18 points. 

With Lebron and AD starting the game, it seemed evident that Tucker would not be getting a place in the starting line-up. But he proved his worth from the bench yet again.  Whereas for the Suns, their marquee duo of Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton led the charge scoring 16 and 21 points respectively.
