The Phoenix Suns are still in the hunt to clinch the NBA Cup’s West Group B and advance to the quarterfinals. San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder and Suns are each 2-1 in group play of the in-season tournament. The Los Angeles Lakers are 2-2 after Friday's loss to the Thunder and the Utah Jazz are 0-3.

The Lakers' path to defending their NBA Cup now requires a win over the Thunder and a little help from the Spurs.

Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant each scored 23 points and the Phoenix Suns celebrated the healthy return of both players with a 127-100 win over the Los Angeles Lakers to snap a five-game losing streak.

The Suns have lost their last five games and would love to put themselves back on track with a win against the Lakers, who are 10-6. Phoenix loved what they saw from their healthy star trio of Beal, Durant and Devin Booker in what was an impressive 9-2 start, though injuries derailed the quick jump out of the gates.
