PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 21 points and the Phoenix Suns beat the Los Angeles Lakers 123-100 on Thursday night in a game that put Durant and LeBron James on the court for the first time in almost five years.
James scored 19 points and Anthony Davis had 15 for Los Angeles in the preseason finale for both teams.
The last time James and Durant were on the court was Christmas 2018, when the Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors 127-101. The game also featured a matchup between Japanese national team members Rui Hachimura for the Lakers and Yuta Watanabe for Phoenix.
Neither Devin Booker nor Bradley Beal played for the Suns.
