Dillon Brooks had 33 points, and Collin Gillespie set career highs with 28 points and eight made three-pointers as the Suns pulled within three games of Los Angeles (15-5) in the Pacific.

Luka Doncic had another outstanding performance for the Lakers with 38 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, but it was not enough as Los Angeles lost for just the third time in their last 16 games.
