The first quarter was a huge quarter for the Suns where they outscored the Lakers by 48-22, it has left fans and critics to wonder what the hell was going on with the Lakers defensively, by conceding 48-points in just the 1st quarter. On top of that, the Phoenix Suns were without Chris Paul and Devin Booker leading the proceedings, who just forced his authority over the Lakers.
