The Lakers have shown some grit and resourcefulness in their first three games. In defeating the Suns 123-116 on Friday after trailing by 22 in the second quarter, they demonstrated the ability to maintain their poise while trusting their system and each other even when things aren't going well.

For the second time in four days, two star-studded Western Conference teams matchup as the Phoenix Suns host the Los Angeles Lakers at Footprint Center in Phoenix on Monday, Oct. 28. The game is scheduled to start at 10 p.
