Three-point shooting percentage is 17%! The Lakers were stunned, Ayton scored 1 point, and Brownie scored 8 points and 5 rebounds!

October 4, the 2025-2026 season, the NBA preseason continued. There is a focus game today. The Lakers face the Suns at home. This game can be said to be a long-awaited game, especially for the Lakers. After strengthening the lineup this summer, the new players made their debut. How effective is it? From this game, we can learn a little about it and take a look at their performance in detail.

Let's take a look at the latest situation of both sides. In terms of the Suns, center Ma Wei and Jaylen Green are unable to play, while in terms of the Lakers, they almost missed a starting lineup.

James is still recovering from a buttock injury and is expected to return to play a hit in the last few games.

Doncic needs rest because he participated in the European Championship this year and is likely to make a comeback in the last game of the preseason.

Smart is also recovering from injury. This year's rookie Thiero has not recovered from his knee injury.

And Kleber, who came to the Lakers through trade last year, was so fragile. He participated in two training camps and was injured again, but he only needed to rest for about a week to come back. Some fans said that Kleber was either recuperating or on the way to recuperating.

I can only say that I hope that the Lakers will not be injured during the regular season.

Suns start: Booker, Allen, Dunn, Dillon, Iguodaro

Lakers start: Reeves, Laravia, Vanderbilt, Hachimura, Ayton

The game started, Rivers came up with a 3-pointer, taking the lead for the Lakers, and then the Suns felt very good. Allen hit 3 points in a row. In the first 5 minutes, both sides played equally, and the score could not be widened. As the game entered the second half of the game, the Lakers suddenly had power outage. The team played very chaotic and conducted too many balls. The Suns played very clearly and clearly, and the feel was also very good. Allen hit 2 3-pointers, O'Neal was also stable in three-pointers, and Richards even made a slump. Not only could he score 2+1, but he also dunked. At the end of the first quarter, the Suns led by 15 points 31:16. The

game entered the second quarter, Laravia scored a 3-pointer, Rivers scored another 2 points, and the difference reached 10 points, 34:24. In the end, Rivers and Hachimura made consecutive fouls and scored 4 free throws, and the score difference was once chased to 6 points. Ayton failed to score in an empty basket just now, and he was also very upset. Brownie played well today, and caused a foul, making both free throws, and he has scored 3 points now.

Hachimura Hachimaru's three-pointer, and scored again. The difference of 3 points was 36:33. Hachimura Hachimaru again committed another foul and scored a free throw, and the difference was 2 points. Dillon scored a key three-pointer, and Brownie continued to rush to the basket, fouled, and made both free throws.

Book's three-pointer, the score difference instantly reached 7 points. It seems that when the Lakers were chasing the points just now, the Suns just took a nap. The subsequent game was simply unpredictable, and the familiar plot was staged again, Dillon's three-pointer and Richards' dunk, one by one. At the end of the first half, the Suns led the Lakers by 13 points. Doncic probably was thinking, if you don’t have it, you’ll get down, let me go. In the end, the Suns defeated the Lakers 103:81 and won 22 points. In terms of player performance, Lakers' Reeves scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Hachimura's 11 points, Laravia's 7 points and 5 rebounds, Brownie 8 points and 5 rebounds, and Ayton 1 point, 8 rebounds and 2 hats.

In terms of the Suns, Booker scored 24 points and 7 assists, Dillon scored 10 points, Allen scored 13 points, Richards scored 9 points, and O'Neal scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Let’s take a look at the performance of the two teams in today’s game!

The Suns played more calmly, simpler and more effective. In addition to the efficient performance of the star Booker, Dillon also performed very well. It seems that this deal is not a loss. Allen and O'Neal on the outside also made very good shots. It can be seen that Booker will get a very high score in the new season.

Lakes, the overall game was very chaotic. It can be seen that the team practiced many of the ball-conducting tactics this year, but the effect was not good. Except for Rivers' offense is still stable, other players were very uncomfortable. In the first half, the Lakers made 23 of 74 shots, with a shooting percentage of 31%. 6 of 3-pointers made 35 shots. The hit rate is only 17%. Maybe in recent days, the Lakers have been practicing physical fitness. How to practice defense well, but the result is that they have no shooting and defense. Redick, what are you doing?

But in terms of players, Ayton is too disappointing. It is difficult to play on the offensive end and lazy to play on the defensive end. Originally, James and Doncic were not around in this game, and Ayton should have played beautiful data, but unexpectedly, he only scored 1 point. It seems that the country is easy to change, but his nature is difficult to change. Ayton is still the same Ayton as before, and his expectations should not be too high.
