Road Struggles Continue As Lakers Crushed In Phoenix

PHOENIX (CBS) --If the Lakers were going to get better on the road, Phoenix looked like the ideal destination.

But the Suns had other ideas, dropping the Lakers  102-90 on Sunday night, snapping a three-game home losing streak to the Lakers.

Los Angeles is now 5-11 on the road.

Phoenix came out firing on all cylinders, scoring 35 points in the first quarter and took a 23-point lead into halftime.

"I don't know if there is anyone out there that if there was 365 days in a year they would be at the same level in their job, no matter what you do and not come down or slip-up, so that's what happened."  Mike Brown said. " We didn't defend like we are capable of and we paid the piper tonight. "

Jared Dudley led the Suns with 25 points, while Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 32 points.

The Lakers head home on Monday night to face the Portland Trailblazers.
