LA Lakers vs. Phoenix Suns Key Matchups
LeBron James taking on Dillon Brooks is a matchup to watch. The situation has become chippy the last time these two players faced each other. Brooks was on James until he was ejected from the game in the final moments of the fourth quarter following a second technical foul. James then secured victory for his team thanks to charity.
